                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, our shelter in the time of storm, as we return to 
the business of freedom, use the Members of this body to accomplish 
Your will. Strengthen them to never abandon the struggle, and inspire 
them to endure to the end. Help them to press forward to the goal of 
Your ideal for humanity. May they never take the easy path and so leave 
the right road. Remind them that perspiration is usually the price of 
worthy things and that without the cross, there is rarely a crown. Keep 
and sustain our lawmakers by Your grace.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
