                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the giver of every good and perfect gift, use our 
lawmakers today to cause justice to roll down like waters and 
righteousness like a mighty stream. May our Senators strive to do what 
is right, love mercy, and live humbly for Your glory. Guide them to 
turn their ears to Your wisdom as You illuminate their hearts with Your 
truth. May they call on You for direction, depend on Your prevailing 
providence, and defend the truth regardless of the consequences. Grant 
that their faithfulness to You will be like the light of morning at 
sunrise, like a morning without clouds, and like the sun gleaming on 
new grass after the rain.
  We pray in Your glorious Name. Amen.
