                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, hope for all who seek You, strength for all who find 
You, lead our lawmakers through the turbulence of another week. Deliver 
them from anxiety, fear, and perplexity, as they become ever more aware 
of Your presence. Surprise them today with some unexpected gift of Your 
grace, providing them with some needed insight and guidance, some 
vision of new possibilities, some fresh resource of courage and 
strength. Guide them to seek first Your kingdom and righteousness, so 
that everything they need You will provide.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
