                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, Your mercies endure forever. You continue to protect us 
with Your loving kindness, putting our enemies to shame. Be a shield 
for our Senators, preparing them for every challenge and fortifying 
them for every adversity. Lord, use them to show forth all Your 
marvelous works, continuing to be their high tower in troubled times. 
May they not forget to serve all the people, including the oppressed, 
the marginalized, the lost, the lonely, the last, and the least. 
Inspire them to live lives that show Your goodness to our Nation and 
world.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
