                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of infinite goodness, confirm Your past mercies to us by 
empowering us to be faithful to Your commands.
  Help our lawmakers this day to use their understanding, affections, 
health, time, and talents to do what You desire. May they strive to 
please You with faithful service. Lord, rule their hearts without a 
rival, guiding their thoughts, words, and works. Take possession of 
their hearts and order their steps by the power of Your loving 
providence.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
