                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, as our lips are open in prayer, so may our hearts be open to 
receive Your guidance. Help us to bow to Your will and live lives 
devoted to Your providential leading.
  Bless our Senators in their work. Let faith, hope, and love abound in 
their lives. Help them to seek to heal the hurt in our world. Remind 
them that they will be judged by their fruits and that You require them 
to be faithful. May they seek to serve rather than be served, following 
Your example of humility and sacrifice. Open their minds and give them 
a vision of the unlimited possibilities available to those who trust 
You as their guide.
  Lord, we thank You for the faith and legacy of our first President, 
George Washington.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
