                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign God, Your kingdom cannot be shaken, for You are King of 
kings and Lord of lords. Thank You for inviting us to ask and receive, 
to seek and find, and to knock for doors to open. Lord, forgive us when 
we have forfeited Your blessings because of our failure to ask.
  Today, empower our Senators to seek Your wisdom and guidance. May 
they not depend only on their gifts and abilities, but remember that 
without Your involvement they labor in vain. May they strive to be Your 
ambassadors of renewal and reconciliation. Steady their hands to grasp 
freedom's torch and illuminate the darkness of our Nation and world.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
