                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, how great You are. Today, lead our lawmakers in 
their work. May they be messengers of unity and hope.
  Lord, make them productive servants who strive to honor You. Remind 
them to act with justice, love, mercy, and humility. May they speak 
words that bring life as they seek to live with integrity.
  Sovereign Lord, strengthen our Senators to seize opportunities that 
bring peace, hope, and freedom.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
