                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our help in ages past and our hope for years to come, as 
Baltimore, MD, descends into chaos and the death toll in Nepal rises, 
we come to You today in the assurance not of our feeble hold on You but 
of Your mighty grasp on us. Thank You for the beckoning glory and the 
fresh vigor of a new day.
  Sustain our Senators in their work. May they trust in Your power as 
they strive to solve the vexing problems of our time. Lord, use them to 
ensure that justice will roll down like waters and righteousness like a 
mighty stream. Strengthen them with Your might and fill them with the 
Spirit of Your love.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
