                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who daily showers us with blessings, open our eyes to 
the generosity of Your grace. Help us to see in the beauty and bounty 
that surrounds us the movement of Your loving providence. Remind our 
lawmakers of their responsibility to use Your blessings to make a 
better Nation and world, and that to whom much is given, much is 
expected. Lord, give them the wisdom to relinquish their control and to 
ask You to take charge, guiding their steps by Your power. Break the 
bonds of self-sufficiency by showing them what they can accomplish with 
Your supernatural strength.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
