                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Listen to our prayers, Almighty God. Let not our Nation be ashamed. 
You are our mighty rock and fortress. Lead and guide us, enabling us to 
honor Your Name. Protect our lawmakers from the hidden traps that can 
derail freedom. Remind them that the truth alone will make us free. 
Show Yourself strong even to those who strive to save themselves. 
Manifest Your might to all. May our Senators trust You, seek Your 
wisdom, and obey Your precepts.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
