                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, the refuge of the distressed, thank You that in our 
troubles You sustain us with Your loving kindness and tender mercy. 
Forgive us when we neglect to find in You a shelter from life's storms.
  Today, fill our Senators with a vibrant faith. Give them complete 
confidence in Your providential leading. May the fire of Your love 
consume all things in their lives that displease You. As they are led 
by Your Spirit, give them Your peace.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
