                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, whose power moves in the changes of the seasons and in 
the beauty of the stars, let Your gentle strength live in our hearts. 
Today, infuse our Senators with Your wisdom so that they will walk in 
the path of Your will. Lord, keep them faithful. May Your love empower 
them to grow in knowledge and judgment so that they will be able to 
choose what is best. Amid the haste and hurry of their labors, remind 
them to spend time with You in order to experience the joy and strength 
of Your presence. Make their lives gifts of Your love to a hurting 
nation and world.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
