                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You sustain us with Your unfailing love, for Your 
faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Use our Senators to accomplish 
Your purposes in our Nation and world. May they tackle the complex 
challenges of our times with the confidence that Your providence will 
prevail. Train them in the school of humility so that they will walk 
safely without stumbling. May they remember that humility precedes 
honor.
  Lord, bless and protect America, making it a land that provides 
freedom's lamp to our world. Incline each citizen to hear Your words of 
truth and to apply his or her heart to knowledge.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
