                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Merciful God, enthroned above all powers, thank You for bestowing on 
us the dignity of being called Your children. You are mighty in power 
and we are grateful for the masterpiece of another day. Lord, forgive 
us when we forget that You are still in charge of what happens in our 
Nation and world. This world belongs to You, and though the wrong seems 
very strong, Your sovereignty still prevails. Your power is far beyond 
any conceivable authority.
  Guide our Senators with Your sovereignty. Use them, Lord, to solve 
the critical problems in our time, contributing to the peace and 
stability of this land we love. Bless those who support them in their 
work as You surround us all with the shield of Your divine favor.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
