                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, giver of every good and perfect gift, we magnify Your 
Holy Name. Your righteousness endures forever.
  Today, empower our lawmakers to do Your will. Give them insight that 
will make justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty 
stream. May they remember that unless You build the house, they labor 
in vain who attempt to erect it. Provide our Senators with the wisdom 
to ask You for Your guidance and to follow Your counsel. Lord, incline 
them to so labor that Your will will be done on Earth even as it is 
done in Heaven. Subdue freedom's enemies, and provide a shield for 
liberty.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
