                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy One, teach us to do Your will. Help us to see life's troubles 
from a spiritual perspective as we continue to place our trust in You. 
May our hearts find repose in You.
  Direct our Senators in all their doings, surrounding them with Your 
favor. Lord, be continually available to help them in their work so 
that Your Name will be glorified and righteousness will exalt our 
Nation. Keep our lawmakers captive only to Your Spirit, that they may 
be free from bondage to self. Guide them so that they will pursue only 
what is good and true and just, as You empower them to live God-
centered lives.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
