                                 PRAYER

  Dr. Barry C. Black, Chaplain of the United States Senate, offered the 
following prayer:
  Almighty God, by whose providence our forebears brought forth a 
Nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to equal justice for all, 
give the Members of this body that same spirit as they seek to make a 
better world. May this quest for justice motivate them to eliminate 
those things that obstruct the coming of Your kingdom.
  Each day, may they give primacy to prayer, seeking Your guidance as 
they strive to make decisions that honor You. Guide them by Your higher 
wisdom so that they will not give in to disappointment, doubt, or 
despair.
  We pray in Your great name. Amen.
