                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, You know all about us. You know when we sit down and 
rise up. You know when we trespass and when we obey. Purge our lives of 
every wrong thing, that we may glorify You in all we think, say, and 
do.
  Lord, guide our lawmakers in their daily work. Enlighten their minds 
so that they can find solutions to the chaos and confusion in our 
world.
  Teach our Senators to listen for Your voice and to wait for Your 
guidance. Lift their lives from the cacophony of contention to the 
concord of a caring community where lawmakers pray forward and support 
each other.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
