                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign Lord, our help in ages past and our hope for years to come, 
we magnify Your Name. Lord, we sense that our battles are not simply 
with flesh and blood, but we war against principalities and powers. 
Thank You for providing us with spiritual weapons for our warfare. 
Forgive us when we chase the temporary and flee from the permanent. 
Inspire us to capture our thoughts and actions, making them subject to 
Your will.
  Lord, give our lawmakers today an awareness of the complexity of the 
warfare between good and evil. Speak to our Senators when they call to 
You for guidance. Remind them that truth crushed to Earth will rise 
again.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
