                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy God, thank You for daily blessings and mercies, for You fill the 
void of our spirits with Your abiding presence. Lord, You provide us 
with strength for each day and hope for each tomorrow. Your ways are 
just and true.
  Supply all the needs of our Senators. Give them wisdom to solve the 
complex problems of our time. Help them to express their gratitude to 
You with deeds of faith and compassion. Lord, use them to call us out 
of the night of selfish living to the sunrise of sacrifice and service. 
Continue to be their refuge and strength, a very present help for every 
trial.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
