                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Great God and Father, Your anger lasts only for a moment, but Your 
favor lasts a lifetime. Lord, open our eyes to see the wonders of Your 
grace and the majesty of Your love for people everywhere. Keep our 
lawmakers from being blind to the work You are doing in our world. 
Bring healing to the sick and liberation to the oppressed.
  Lord, You have watched over this land we love from generation to 
generation, in prosperity and adversity, in peace and war. Today, keep 
our Senators so dedicated that they will do justly, love mercy, and 
walk humbly with You.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
