                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, we trust in Your unfailing love and commit our lives 
to You. Thank you for listening to our prayers. Help us to live in 
purity so that we will never dishonor You.
  Lord, guard our minds so that our thoughts will please You, as we 
passionately seek Your truth.
  Today, strengthen the Members of this body in their work. Use them to 
bring comfort and courage to the marginalized. Help our Senators to 
give their hearts to You and seek to please You in all they say and do. 
Empower them to live in such a way that by the wisdom of their words 
and the power of their example others may be moved to follow You.
  We pray in Your awesome Name. Amen.
