                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, You are supreme over all the nations. With loyalty and 
love, You continue to guide us.
  As our Senators deal with today's challenges, unite them in the 
common task of doing what is best for our Nation and world. May our 
lawmakers see that they can accomplish far more by finding common 
ground and working together.
  When these servants of freedom are tempted to doubt, steady their 
faith. When they don't know what to do, give them the wisdom that can 
change and shape our times according to Your plan.
  Lord, empower them to trust You more fully, to live for You more 
completely, and to serve You more willingly.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
