                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray. Eternal God, thank You for not keeping a record of our 
wrongdoings. As we lift our hearts in prayer, open Your ears to our 
supplications. Keep our feet on a smooth, straight road so that we will 
experience Your best for our lives. Lord, walk with our Senators 
throughout this day. Remind them that they are Your servants, as You 
keep them alert to Your commands.
  Forgive us when we forget to express our gratitude, for without Your 
help, challenges will overwhelm us. In this season of Thanksgiving we 
are grateful that You have not left us defenseless but that Your grace 
and Your mercy continue to prevail in our lives. We pray in Your great 
Name. Amen.
