                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, Your promises are sure. Bless our lawmakers in all 
their undertakings. In their friendships, keep them faithful and true. 
In their emotions, keep them calm and serene. Free them from anxiety 
and care. In their material things, give them contentment and 
generosity. In their spiritual lives, deliver them from doubts and 
distrust. In their work, give them guidance and success. And if 
misfortune comes, use the trials to bring them closer to each other and 
to You. Let nothing shake their certainty that You alone are sovereign 
over their lives.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
