                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord God, the center of joy, thank You for the privilege of prayer. 
In a world filled with change and decay, Lord, we are grateful that we 
can always call to You, the changeless one. Today we ask You to guide 
our lawmakers. Shine the light of Your wisdom and truth upon their 
path. Give them patience to wait for Your clear guidance and courage to 
follow where You lead. Remove pride from their hearts and replace it 
with a spirit of humility and unity. We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
