                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God most high, Your faithfulness endures through all generations. You 
desire truth and justice, and You are true to Your promises. Hear our 
prayer.
  Let Your presence be felt today on Capitol Hill. Open the hearts of 
our lawmakers to the guidance of Your spirit as you empower them to 
serve with faithfulness. Lord, dwell in them and those who support 
their labors, making them fruitful for the glory of Your Name. May they 
hear Your call to rise and follow where You lead as you inspire them to 
be obedient to Your perfect will. Give them patience with those who 
oppose them, and may they trust in Your perfect love which never fails.
  We pray in Your glorious Name. Amen.
