                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of courage, make us brave in facing the challenges of our time. 
Show us how to meet each difficulty with faith and wisdom. Make us 
faithful in the small things that matter in order to prepare us to face 
greater obstacles with trust in Your power.
  Guide our lawmakers in their daunting work. May they live with such 
honor that they will be ready to be tested in life's storms. Infuse 
them with an ethical courage that will make them passionate about 
staying on the right path.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
