                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, show favor to our land and bless us with Your grace. 
Transform us into people who look to You for guidance and fulfillment 
as we seek to do Your will.
  Lord, unite us to accomplish the things that honor You. Strengthen 
the Members of this body to serve You as You deserve. Empower them to 
give and not to count the cost, to strive and not to heed the wounds. 
Help them to toil and not to seek for rest, to labor and not to ask for 
any reward, except of knowing they are doing Your will. May each 
Senator daily strive to speak the truth and honor You.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
