                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, our inability to solve our problems persistently 
reminds us of our need of Your mercy and power. Manifest Your power on 
Capitol Hill, doing for our lawmakers what they cannot do for 
themselves. Break down the barriers that seem impenetrable, enabling 
them to walk by Your Spirit toward the accomplishment of goals that 
will bless and protect America. Lord, divert them from the strategies 
that lead to dead ends, guiding them toward unity and consensus. Shine 
forth with Your power during this challenging season.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
