                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, continue to guide the steps of our Senators. 
Lift their gaze to the beckoning hills of Your help, leading them on 
paths that bring them to hope and away from despair.
  Lord, as they journey toward justice and peace, make them satisfied 
to follow Your plans and fulfill Your purposes. Give them a positive 
attitude. As they face today's challenges, direct them to discern what 
is Your best for our Nation and world.
  Lead kindly, light amid the encircling gloom. Guide us through the 
darkness of our own devices to the sure and certain destination of Your 
prevailing providence.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
