                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, most holy, You are more ready to hear us than we are to pray, 
for You know our needs before we ask for help. Give us listening ears, 
responsive hearts, and willing spirits.
  Bless our Senators. Fill their lives with meaning, and shower them 
with Your wisdom. Reveal the issues that matter most so their work will 
glorify You. Let Your love sustain them through the welter and variety 
of the legislative process.
  And, Lord, empower Your new addition to the U.S. Senate: Ms. Butler.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
