                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven in whom we live and move and have our being, we 
glorify Your Name today as we take this moment to remember Your grace 
and provision. Lord, we ask that You would guide our lawmakers as they 
influence the future course of this Nation. Lead them with Your wisdom, 
direct them with Your patience, and protect them with Your power.
  We pray that our Senators will faithfully fulfill the duties set 
before them, providing for the common defense, striving to bring 
domestic tranquility, and working to ensure liberty and justice for 
all.
  Likewise, we pray that You would lead and bless American citizens as 
they enjoy the freedoms of this land and work to spread these liberties 
from sea to shining sea.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
