                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our gracious God and friend, great is Your faithfulness. Guard our 
Senators. As they wait expectantly for Your salvation, may they not 
stumble in the darkness.
  Lord, protect their minds with Your instructions so that they will 
not deviate from the path of integrity. May they follow Your directions 
and embrace Your counsel so that America can be like a shining city on 
a hill.
  Give their petitions Your personal care so that no weapon formed 
against them will prosper. Let praises cascade from their lips and Your 
promises ring from their tongues, O God of our salvation.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
