                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Savior, how great You are. You are robed with honor and 
majesty. You are dressed in robes of splendor. Guide our Senators on 
the right path, helping them to unite in thought and purpose for the 
common good of our Nation. Lord, remind them that Your desires for them 
are wiser than their plans so that our lawmakers will cherish the 
wisdom of Your unfolding providence. May our legislators not become 
discouraged, but may they anticipate a harvest of blessings at the 
appropriate time. Help them to find delight in communing with You, 
knowing that You will plant in their hearts desires that will fulfill 
Your purposes.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
