                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Precious Lord, spirit of light and life, Your mercies endure forever.
  Guide our lawmakers through the turbulent waters of division and 
pessimism to Your safe harbor of unity and hope. Keep their hearts 
clean, their spirits courageous, and their minds clear.
  Bless our Nation with Your continued presence as You empower our 
Senators to be servants for peace and freedom in this world of human 
need.
  And, Lord, we again thank You for the life and legacy of 
Representative Elijah Cummings.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
