                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, we rejoice that You still answer prayers. When we cry 
to You, You continue to be an ever-present help during seasons of 
trouble.
  Lord, we marvel at Your power as we rest confident in Your ability to 
accomplish Your purposes. Today, inspire our Senators to put their 
total trust in You. May they not fear anything that may assail them on 
every side. Help them to remember that there is none holy like You, and 
nothing can compare to Your majesty and might.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
