  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, the fountain of joy, we thank You for our legislative 
leaders. We are grateful for their dedication to freedom's cause, for 
their desire to do Your will, and for their faith in Your sovereign 
leading.
  Bless and keep them in their varied endeavors. Give them patience to 
achieve, humility to listen, wisdom to decide, diligence to lead, and 
love to act with compassion. Keep them alert to the needs of our times.
  And, Lord, bring peace to our world. We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
