                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal unchanging God, You are our rock, our fortress, and our 
stronghold.
  Empower our lawmakers to change in ways that will render them more 
faithful to Your will and more responsive to Your call. May they 
develop such moral and ethical fitness that they will clearly 
comprehend Your desires and be eager to do Your will. As they grow in 
grace and in knowledge of You, deliver them from the bonds of anxiety, 
as You turn their spirits toward the light of Your presence.
  May the knowledge of Your blessings to our Nation bring us all to a 
deeper commitment to You.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
