                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Mighty God, thank You for the gifts of compassion, tolerance, and 
understanding that can help us navigate during these difficult times. 
May our lawmakers enable these gifts to help them feel the winds of 
pain, anguish, and despair blowing in our Nation and world.
  As our Senators trust Your sovereignty in sunshine and in shadows, 
show them the right road to follow, guide them with Your precepts, and 
protect them with Your wisdom.
  Lord, fill them with such reverence for You that they shall stand for 
right and leave the consequences to You.
  Bring peace to our troubled world. We pray in Your powerful Name. 
Amen.
