                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Dear Lord, let this day be marked with resilience and guided by Your 
righteous hand. When our lawmakers are confronted by obstacles, instill 
unrelenting resolution inside of them to meet the challenges of the 
changing world. Today, give them the wisdom to turn from every thought, 
word, and deed that weakens instead of strengthens.
  Lord, help our Senators to hunger and thirst to be people of 
integrity, striving to honor You with their lives. May this be a day 
when they serve You with gladness because Your joy has filled their 
hearts.
  Lord, all nations are Yours. Help us to trust You to rule our world.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
