                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Barry Black, Chaplain of the United States Senate, 
Washington D.C., offered the following prayer:
  O Holy God, who has taught us to place our confidence in You, give 
the Members of this body the power of Your wisdom. In all their duties, 
empower them to be loyal to You and obedient to Your precepts.
  Lord, give them faith to believe that You are willing to help them 
solve the problems they face when they place their total trust in You.
  Be their abiding reality and lead them into the paths of loving 
service as they strive to do Your will.
  Lord, open their eyes to the many things they can do to accomplish 
Your purposes.
  And Lord, do for us all infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.
  We pray in Your powerful name.
  Amen.
