                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, whose grace sustains us, Your goodness and mercy have 
followed us all the days of these Pilgrim years. Today, give 
understanding, humility, and courage to our lawmakers, that they may be 
faithful stewards whose work honors You. Lord, make them conscious of 
Your overshadowing presence as they seek to produce legislation that 
will bless our land. May they commit their ways unto You who knows the 
road they take and can bring them forth as gold tried in fire.
  We pray in Your matchless Name. Amen.
