                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, by whose providence our forebears brought forth this 
Nation, give to our Senators a passion to protect those liberties for 
which so many have given their lives to defend.
  Lord, give them also the wisdom to trust You with all their hearts 
and to passionately and humbly pursue Your purposes, knowing that You 
have promised to direct their steps.
  Today, may each lawmaker experience the constancy of Your presence 
that will enable him or her to cleave to the sunnier side of his or her 
doubts. Guide our Senators with Your higher wisdom and bring them to 
the end of this day with their hearts at peace with You.
  We pray in Your precious Name. Amen.
