                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, ADM Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
                                 ______
                                 
  Let us pray.
  O God, who gives us songs in the night, we thank You for Your 
promises that cannot fail. You are a God of wonders and Your mercies 
are new every morning. Lord, You have worked in our Nation's history, 
doing for us what we could not accomplish with our own strength. Help 
us never to fear the future because we can remember how You have led us 
in the past. Lead our Senators today like a shepherd cares for a flock. 
Lord, let peace radiate in our world on wings of faith, hope, and love. 
We pray this in Your strong name. Amen.
