                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Have compassion upon us, O Lord, for we are weak. We continue to 
depend on You to guide our lawmakers on right paths. Only You know what 
the future holds and the resources we will need to meet our many 
challenges. Strengthen our Senators so that, in the face of great 
challenges, they will be steadfast, abounding in works that honor You.
  Lord, give them such confidence in Your providence that no problem 
will seem insoluble. When anxieties come, remind them that You have not 
given a spirit of fear but of love, power, and discipline. In all of 
their work, may their primary motive be to bring glory to Your Name.
  Thank You for hearing our cries and answering our prayers.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
