                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in heaven, we give You thanks, for You alone are God, 
living and true, dwelling in light inaccessible from before time and 
forever.
  Inspire our lawmakers this day to labor for peace and justice, to 
sacrifice for the needy, and to be faithful stewards of the gifts You 
have given them. Teach them to do Your will on Earth even as it is done 
in heaven. Lord, strengthen them to overcome evil with good, as You 
give them serenity amid the tensions of life.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
