                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, the fountain of all wisdom, make us Your servants. 
Teach us to listen to Your guidance and to be faithful in doing Your 
bidding. Give us a spirit of kindness so we will properly represent 
You. Bless us with the peace of knowing we are doing Your will.
  Use our lawmakers. Help them to fully understand how to make right 
choices. Protect them from danger and empower them to never do anything 
that will bring them shame. Make them wise interpreters of the signs of 
the times and undergird them with Your enabling might.
  We pray in Your powerful name. Amen.
