                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious Lord, ruler of our lives, help us today to trust You with 
all our hearts, minds, and strength. Lord, keep us striving to stay 
within the circle of Your will.
  Today, empower the Members of this body to bring deliverance to 
captives, sight to the morally blind, and healing to those who are 
bruised by life's trials and setbacks.
  Give our lawmakers the wisdom to follow Your providential leading, 
even when facing problems that seem too difficult to solve. Lord, help 
our Senators to be strengthened with Your peace, justice, and purpose 
as You fill this Chamber with Your presence.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
