                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal and powerful God, don't hide from us. Don't stand so far 
away, for our Nation and world need You. Lord, bring peace where there 
is war, hope where there is despair, and faith where there is cynicism.
  Arise, mighty God, for we put our trust in You. Today, we trust You 
to guide our Senators. Lord, warn them through their mistakes, 
encourage them with their successes, and enrich them through life's 
seasons of gladness and sadness. Inspire them to be worthy of the honor 
of being Your sons and daughters as You give them a renewed sense of 
Your providential presence.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
