                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, hear us when we cry to You. You have been our help in 
ages past and our hope for the years to come.
  You don't keep a record of our transgressions but shower us daily 
with mercy and forgiveness. Great is Your faithfulness.
  As our Senators wait for the unfolding of Your powerful providence, 
give them Your peace. Lord, may they cling to Your promises knowing 
that You will lead them to a desired destination. Give them the wisdom 
to trust Your unconditional love and Your willingness to save those who 
call on Your Name.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
