                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Holy God, who has taught us to place our confidence in You, give 
the Members of this body the power of Your wisdom. In all their duties, 
empower them to be loyal to You and obedient to Your precepts. Although 
violence, chaos, and turbulence seem to prevail in our land, give our 
Senators faith to believe that You are willing to help them solve the 
problems they face.
  Lord, be their abiding reality and lead them into the paths of loving 
service as they strive to honor You. Open their eyes to the many things 
they can do to accomplish Your will.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
