                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy God, all Your works do praise Your Name on the Earth, in the 
sky, and on the sea. Great is Your faithfulness.
  Stir Your edifying spirit among our Senators, liberating them from 
shortsightedness as they work diligently for freedom and justice for 
all. Lord, make our Senators citizens of Your kingdom so that Your will 
may be done on Earth, even as it is done in Heaven. Help them to draw 
near to You with true hearts and full assurance that their times are in 
Your hands. May this confidence in Your prevailing providence inspire 
them to pay the price of eternal vigilance for freedom.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
