                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our God, we honor Your Name. You continue to guide our Nation, 
and we trust the unfolding of Your prevailing providence. Help us to 
effectively tell this generation about Your mighty works so that Your 
Name will be known by those not yet born. Use us to inspire people to 
celebrate Your matchless mercy and Your power to save. Thank You for 
keeping Your word, for extending to us Your daily blessings, and for 
picking us up each time we fall.
  Guide your Senators with Your love today. Be for them a shade by day 
and a defense by night. Lord, keep them on the road that leads to life.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
