                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Heavenly Father, giver of good gifts, thank You for another day to 
serve You. Focus the attention of our Senators on Your will and enable 
them to discover what best pleases You. Help them to debate without 
quarrelling and to disagree without being disagreeable. Inspire them to 
become disciplined followers of Your purposes ever eager to obey Your 
commands. Guide, strengthen, and bless them until they reflect Your 
image of purity, honesty, humility, generosity, and love.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
