                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God, the fountain of every blessing, in this Thanksgiving season, we 
praise Your Holy Name. May the lives of our lawmakers please You. 
Inspire them to walk in Your ways, keeping Your precepts with such 
integrity that they will glorify Your Name. Incline their hearts to 
Your wisdom and provide them with the understanding they need to 
accomplish Your purposes.
  Lord God, let Your mercy protect our Senators from the dangers of 
this life, as they learn to find delight in receiving Your approval. 
Keep them ever mindful of life's brevity and the greatness of their 
work.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
