                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God, our help in ages past, at Your throne, we find our faith and 
strength. Lord, help us to know ourselves for who we are: people who 
are totally dependent upon Your mercy and grace.
  In this great hour of human destiny, deepen in our Senators a sense 
of surpassing opportunity to permit You to use them as instruments for 
Your glory. Lord, fit them to protect our Nation from enemies, foreign 
and domestic, as You do for us all more than we can ask or imagine.
  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within 
us.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
