                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, enthroned above all other powers, thank You for the gift 
of this day. Use our lawmakers for Your glory. May they find obedience 
to You not a burden but a delight. May they find the cost of loyalty to 
Your precepts not a trial but a privilege, as they discover in Your 
Words wings to uplift our Nation and world.
  Lord, inspire our Senators to make decisions that will build 
monuments of moral excellence and courage for generations to come. Open 
their eyes to Your wisdom, as You continue to uphold our Nation with 
Your powerful hand.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
