                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  O God, our righteous judge, the upright will behold your face. Lord, 
we thank You for Your power that keeps us from stumbling on life's 
road. Today, give our Senators the wisdom to find in You their refuge 
and strength. As they face complex challenges, may they flee to You for 
guidance and fellowship. Lord, as they make You the foundation of their 
hope and joy, empower them to run life's race without weariness, 
knowing that Your bountiful harvest of goodness is certain.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
