                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom. Nothing is impossible to 
You. Forgive us when we sometimes have anxiety about the future because 
we fail to remember what You have done in the past. Thank You for Your 
wisdom that guides us on life's journey, empowering us to walk with 
integrity. Today, enlighten our Senators, show them Your ways, teach 
them Your paths. May Your great love so encompass them that discord and 
confusion will be dispelled. Lord, let Your peace and tranquility guard 
their hearts and minds. Deal graciously with them, encouraging them to 
cast their cares upon You, receiving Your loving mercy and protection.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
