                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Most holy and gracious God, who turns the shadow of night into the 
glory of morning, shower our lawmakers with Your mercy this day. Lord, 
calm troubled thoughts, and guide their feet in the way of peace. Let 
Your strength be more than sufficient to help them build a better 
nation and world. Make them instruments of Your Grace and goodness as 
You renew in them the joy of belonging to You. Let Your eyes rest upon 
our Senators and become for them a bulwark, never failing. Guard their 
feet so that they will not deviate from the path of unwavering 
integrity.
  We pray in Your blessed Name. Amen.
