                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious God, in whose presence the dark night of anxiety is 
dispelled by the dawn of Your peace, thank You for guiding us beside 
still waters. Lord, we do not ask for faith for the whole of life but 
for enough trust to live one day at a time.
  Draw our lawmakers near to You so that they may see the beauty of 
Your purposes and discern Your plan. Purge their thoughts and speech 
that no unworthy communications may proceed out of their mouths. Lord, 
teach them new truths today, so that they may soar on the wings of Your 
joy and light.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
