                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, may our lawmakers delight today in Your guidance, 
finding joy in their fellowship with You. Lord, strengthen them by this 
fellowship, enabling them to be like productive trees planted by 
streams of water.
  Lord, give our Senators the wisdom to live for Your glory, using them 
to provide deliverance for captives and freedom for the oppressed.
  In you, O God, we find refuge. Continue to guide us, strong 
deliverer, for we are pilgrims in this life.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
