                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, our Redeemer, abide with our Senators through the passing 
hours of another day. Strengthen them to stand firm for those good and 
eternal values that keep a nation strong. Lord, give them the courage 
to do the right even when others are doing wrong. Remind them that You 
are the pilot of their lives who can guide them to a desired 
destination. Let discretion preserve them, understanding keep them, and 
faith fortify them. Lead them not into temptation, but deliver them 
from the forces of evil. Save them from pride that mistakes their 
abilities for possessions, and keep them humble enough to see their 
need of You.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
