                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, who has placed us here and gives us work to do, we 
pause to thank You for sustaining this Nation from generation to 
generation in prosperity and in adversity, in peace and in war.
  Lord, we praise You for this season of new horizons, fresh 
challenges, and high duties. Give our Senators the wisdom to exert 
their best efforts for the security of America and for peace in our 
world. In the words of the Prophet Micah, may our lawmakers do justly, 
love mercy, and walk humbly with You. Join them in heart, mind, and 
soul to transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows.
  Lord, guide us all by Your higher wisdom that we may ever seek to 
know and do Your will.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
