                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, father of us all, continue to guide our lawmakers 
during these challenging times. Infuse them with wisdom and energy so 
that they will not become discouraged by what sometimes seems an 
impossible situation. Show them the road that will lead to a desired 
destination as You assure them of Your presence, love, and grace in 
their work. Lord, help them to defer to each other, to respect each 
other, so that by attitude and action they will reflect Your divine 
will. May they fulfill their responsibilities in ways that honor You.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
