                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, You are the strength of our lives. Use us to tell of Your 
wondrous works, inspiring others to glorify Your Name in the Earth. 
Help us to depend on You in the welter and variety of events we 
encounter each day. May we trust You to supply all of our needs, 
responding with gratitude to Your generous mercies.
  Today, give our Senators an eternal perspective on the myriad issues 
they face. Infuse their hearts with faith, sharpen their minds with 
truth, and renew their spirits with courage. Bless the members of their 
staff who sacrifice so much for freedom's cause.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
