                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Mighty God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, thank You for the honor of 
being made in Your image, personally formed by You for Your glory.
  Today, shower Your grace upon our lawmakers, making them sufficient 
for these grand and challenging times. Lord, inspire them to walk 
humbly with You as You bless and strengthen them. Please don't remove 
the mountains in their lives, but give them the strength to climb them. 
May they not forget that in everything You are working for the good of 
those who love You and are called according to Your purposes. Give our 
Senators the insight, wisdom, and courage to serve Your purpose for 
their lives in this generation.
  And, Lord, we ask that You would comfort the families of the victims 
of the plane crash in the French Alps.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
