                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, as bombs fall in Syria and refugees seek safety, may 
all who are oppressed look to You. In spite of our world's turbulence, 
we continue to proclaim Your greatness for Your sovereignty will 
prevail. Free us from fear. Answer when we call. Shelter us from 
disappointment.
  Bless our Senators. Lord, fill them with the Spirit of Your wisdom, 
making them equal to challenges of this difficult season of our 
national and world history. Open their minds to comprehend Your wisdom, 
their ears to hear Your guidance, and their hearts to obey Your 
biddings.
  Lift the light of Your countenance upon all who seek You and give 
them Your peace.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
