                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God, be with us, before us, behind us, and in us. God, be beneath us 
and above us. Stay on our right and left. Sustain us when we lie down, 
when we sit and arise.
  Be in the hearts of our Senators, guiding their speech and directing 
their actions. Give them Your special gifts of wisdom and 
understanding, patience and strength so that their labors will hasten 
the coming of Your kingdom.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
