                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Marvelous Redeemer, You alone are God, keeping Your covenant with 
humanity throughout the generations.
  Bless our Senators. Enable them to find shelter in the shadow of Your 
wings. Lord, bless their plans as they seek to do Your will on Earth, 
and empower them to succeed. Use them to bring comfort and healing to a 
troubled nation and world. Keep them aware of the constancy of Your 
presence, inspiring them to give primacy to prayer and praise as they 
work for Your glory.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
