                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, we praise You for surrounding us with the shield of 
Your salvation. When we cry to You for help, You are always near, ever 
ready to comfort and cheer. When we remember what You have already done 
to bless our Nation and our lives, we can only declare, ``Great is Your 
faithfulness.''
  As our Senators strive today to do Your will, remind them that Your 
love has no limits, Your hope has no restrictions, and Your power has 
no end. Guide them as they seek to discern what is best for our Nation 
and to courageously vote their convictions.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
