                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Everlasting God, our light and salvation, You remain our strength and 
shield. Today, we claim Your great and precious promises as You sustain 
us with Your presence. Thank You for promising to supply our needs and 
to lead us toward abundant living.
  Continue to sustain our Senators with Your eternal presence. Remind 
them that Your hand is on the helm of human affairs and that You still 
guide Your world. Renew their strength as You provide them with the 
courage to carry on. May they refuse to do anything which could bring 
them regret, remorse, and shame.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
