                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the fountain of all goodness, thank You that You have us 
in the place where You want us to be.
  Teach our lawmakers to take seriously their role in solving the 
problems of our times, that they may fulfill Your plans for their 
lives. Continue to inspire them and to bless others through their work. 
Use Your sovereign wisdom to bring about good results from their 
decisions. Lord, give our Senators the courage to tell us what we need 
to hear so that Your truth will set us free. Make them willing to take 
judicious risk when it leads to justice and truth.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
