                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God who rules the raging of the sea, draw our Senators to You 
today by the cords of Your eternal love. Help them to strive to know 
You, cultivating a relationship of peaceful trust in Your prevailing 
providence. May the experience of being in Your presence enable them to 
better comprehend the role You desire for them to play in fulfilling 
Your purposes on Earth. Sharpen their vision to perceive Your movements 
in our Nation and world. Where there is anxiety, give our lawmakers the 
poise that comes from a confident faith in You.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
