                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Holy God who inhabits eternity, lead our lawmakers with Your might. 
Help them to not run ahead of You or ignore Your wisdom. Lord, restore 
their spirits with trust and hope and order their steps toward Your 
desired destination. Keep them calm in the quiet center of their lives 
so that they may be serene in life's swirling stresses. Fill them with 
the peace that comes from keeping their focus on You. Help them to 
listen to others as attentively as they want others to listen to them.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
