                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Give heed, mighty God, to our prayers and hear our petitions. You are 
a God of justice, who always does what is right.
  As Jewish people tonight light the fifth candle of Hanukkah, let 
there be peace on Earth, and may it begin with us.
  Lord, You have examined our hearts. You know our motives. Continue to 
guide our Senators. Empower them to follow You faithfully, to seek Your 
will, and to find their peace through fellowship with You. May they 
trust You for safety, finding their highest fulfillment in knowing they 
are doing Your will.
  When everything seems to fall apart, remind them that, in everything, 
You are working for the good of those who love You, who are called 
according to Your purposes.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
