                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the Earth. You are 
the giver of everlasting life, and nothing can separate us from Your 
limitless love. You know us better than we know ourselves, and You work 
for the good of those who love You. You have given us the privilege to 
be called Your children.
  Give our Senators today a faith sufficient for these challenging 
times. May their trust in You empower them to solve problems, to 
conquer temptations, and to live more nearly as they ought. Remind them 
that all things are possible to those who believe. May their trust in 
You create in them both the desire and power to do Your will.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
