                                     PRAYER

      The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
      Let us pray.
      Eternal God, empower our Senators to make consistency a top priority.
    Lead them over life's mountains and through life's valleys with the
    spirit of faithfulness and trust in You. Help them to live their lives
    on an even keel, refusing to give in to despair. Whether in life's
    sunshine or shadows, may they be aware that You will walk beside them,
    making the crooked places straight. Keep them from making critical
    decisions without consulting You or succumbing to the temptation of
    taking the easy way out. Lord, infuse them with the spirit of gratitude
    for Your involvement in our Nation and world.
      We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
