                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, help us to so live that the generations to come will 
know of Your mighty acts.
  Today, guide our Senators in the path You have created, inspiring 
them with the potency of Your powerful presence. May they trust You in 
times of adversity and prosperity, knowing that they will reap a 
productive harvest if they persevere. Lord, keep them from 
underestimating the power of Your great Name, inspiring them never to 
forget that nothing is impossible with You. Give them the wisdom to 
solve the hard problems of our times and grace to live in harmony with 
one another.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
