                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, direct our efforts so that our labors may honor You. 
Let our toil bring a harvest that will benefit others. Give us 
opportunities to live with such integrity that our lives will be living 
sermons.
  Bless our lawmakers. Lead them into a knowledge of Your compassion. 
Each day, bring them new aspirations and fresh wisdom.
  When disappointment comes, may they turn to You for direction. Raise 
them step by step above temptation until they are determined to never 
deviate from the right path.
  Keep each of us faithful even in little things so that You can use us 
for Your glory.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.NOTICE
