                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, the center of our joy. Thank you for a safe return 
to Capitol Hill and for more opportunities to strengthen our Nation and 
world. Remind our lawmakers that You continue to stand in the shadows, 
ensuring the success of Your prevailing providence.
  Lord, may these servants of freedom in the upper Chamber of our 
legislative branch never forget that their times are in Your hands, for 
You are able to accomplish more than they can ask or imagine.
  Permit these thoughts to provide them with peace that the world can 
neither give or take away.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
