                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, thank You for listening to our prayers. May our 
lawmakers use fervent prayer to solve problems and to experience Your 
wonderful peace. Help the citizens of this land to join our Senators in 
using intercession to bring healing to our Nation and world.
  Lord, thank You for Your promise that if we call You when facing 
trouble, You will deliver us. Lift the light of Your countenance upon 
our Nation and world, O Lord, and let Your will be done. Let there be 
peace on Earth, and let it begin in each of our hearts. Give us minds 
that are wise with wisdom, hearts that are warm with faith, and lips 
that are eloquent with truth.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
