                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we continue to trust the power of Your prevailing 
providence. In times of trouble, You keep us safe from harm. You 
strengthen us when all seems lost, enabling us to reach Your desired 
destination without stumbling or slipping.
  Lord, Your plans are fulfilled in spite of our enemies. Surround our 
Senators with the shield of Your divine favor. Lord, inspire them to 
rejoice in Your might because of Your victorious guidance. Keep them 
from the paths of disgrace.
  Look with favor, O Lord, upon us all, and may our service ever be 
acceptable to You.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
