                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, we are reminded at this time of year of the greatness 
of Your gift to us in sending Your Son. Use us as instruments for His 
glory. Because of our faith in You, make us bold as lions in these 
turbulent times.
  May our lawmakers work together to protect and defend our 
Constitution, realizing, as iron sharpens iron, so friends sharpen 
friends. Lord, make our Senators grateful for the fires in our Nation's 
history that have tested their commitment to freedom, providing them 
with opportunities to become profiles of courage, serving their 
generation with faithfulness.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
