                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You stand behind life's shadows, keeping watch over 
those who call on Your sacred Name.
  Lord, our help comes from You, and we need Your sufficient grace to 
bring an end to this partial government shutdown.
  Lord, don't permit the weapons formed against America to prosper, for 
You remain our refuge and fortress. May our lawmakers not be found 
wanting in this challenging hour of national turmoil. Help them to 
courageously contend for what is right, as You give them the ability to 
understand Your unfolding providence.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Please, God, help us.
