                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You are the shepherd of our souls. Because of You, 
blessings overtake us. Thank You for inscribing each of us on the palms 
of Your hands. Great is Your faithfulness.
  Bless our Senators and those who labor with them. Give them strength 
to meet today's challenges with a peace that comes from total trust in 
You. Remind them that the way to find life is to lose it in service for 
others.
  Surround us all with Your favor, as You complete the work You have 
started in each of us.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
