                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our heavenly Father, we cry to You, but sometimes You 
seem so far away. In our despair, You sometimes seem distant, and we 
are tempted to surmise that we are all alone.
  When we shout, we seem to hear the echoes of our anguish. 
Nonetheless, we know that You are holy, mighty, and good. We have 
trusted You too long to let go.
  Empower our Senators for these challenging times. Remove from their 
minds all bitterness and contempt for one another. Keep their hearts 
clean, their spirits courageous, and their minds clear as they face 
these daunting times.
  We pray in Your omnipotent Name. Amen.
