                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of time and eternity, who laid the cornerstone of the universe, 
use our lawmakers today as instruments of Your will. Give them the 
wisdom to turn from the thoughts, words, and deeds that weaken instead 
of strengthen freedom. Lord, help them to desire to be people of 
integrity who will stand for right and leave the consequences to You. 
May this be a day when our Senators serve You with gladness because 
Your joy is their strength.
  Lord, all nations are Yours. Help us to trust You to rule our world. 
Bring peace to our planet.
  And, Lord, we praise You for the life and legacy of former First Lady 
Rosalynn Carter.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
