                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal and blessed God, amid the earthquakes, wind, and fire of this 
turbulent world, we thank You for seasonal reminders of new life and 
resurrection. Give our lawmakers the wisdom to wait until they hear 
Your whispers of healing and hope. Give them sensitive hearts to 
listen, teachable minds to learn, and humble wills to obey. When doubts 
assail them, may they remember that no night is endless but always 
followed by a new day. Inspire them to put all their plans in Your 
hands, trusting fully in the power of Your love.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
