                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Come, mighty King, robed in majesty. Your throne stands firm, even in 
the midst of chaos. You speak, and it is done.
  Lord, You are our strength and shield. Our protection comes from You.
  Today, guide our Senators as a shepherd would lead the lambs. May our 
lawmakers find in You green pastures and still waters.
  Lord, support us with Your powerful hands until the shadows flee 
away. Forgive all our sins and rebellion, empowering us to glorify Your 
Name in our thoughts, words, and deeds.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
