                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, source of all life, may Your power be felt today in the 
Senate. Strengthen our Senators with Your might, infusing them with 
faith to look beyond today's challenges with confidence that You are 
still in control. Impart them with knowledge that will enable them to 
find creative solutions to the problems that beset us. Keep Your hand 
upon all the citizens of this great land, protecting them from evil as 
You guide them along the pathway of life. Help us to remember that we 
should be one in purpose, seeking the best for our Republic.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
