                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, source of all life, give our lawmakers this day Your 
grace and wisdom. Because of Your grace, may they find such inner peace 
that it will prompt them to reach out to one another and accomplish 
great things for Your glory. Because of Your wisdom, may they face 
today's challenges with confidence, knowing that You order the steps of 
good people.
  Lord, give all who labor on Capitol Hill a special discernment to 
know and to do Your will. Remove their strain and stress and let their 
ordered lives confess the beauty of Your peace. We pray in Your sacred 
Name.
  Amen.
