                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  We receive this day from You, our God, with all of its uniqueness. 
Thank You for the fresh possibilities and opportunities. Use our 
lawmakers today as a creative force for good. Give them the discernment 
to see what new thing You are doing in our day, and the willingness to 
receive Your guidance. Remind them that to whom much is given, much is 
expected. May Your love reach out through them to touch our hurting 
world.
  Lord, increase our hunger and thirst for righteousness and freedom.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
