                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, the center of our joy, You are the source of all of 
our blessings. Thank You for Your unfailing love that provides us each 
day with the privilege of glorifying Your Name. Lord, help us to 
remember that You are an ever-present help for all our troubles.
  Today, inspire our Senators to trust You to direct their steps. As 
they are pressed by many issues, help them to slow down long enough to 
seek Your wisdom. Cheer their hearts with the knowledge that in 
everything You are working for the good of those who love You, 
sustaining them by Your grace.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
