                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, we are in Your hands and may we rejoice above all things in 
being so. Do with us what seems good in Your sight. Only let us love 
You with all our mind, soul, and strength.
  Today, show mercy to the Members of this legislative body. Let Your 
sovereign hand be over them and Your Holy Spirit ever be with them, 
directing all their thoughts, words, and works to Your glory. Lord, 
prosper the works of their hands, enabling them in due season to reap a 
bountiful harvest if they faint not. In all that they say and do, may 
they seek Your glory, striving for faithfulness in even the small 
matters of their labors.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
