                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord, we open our hearts to You in gratitude for the blessing of 
another day. Renew us, revitalize us with the knowledge of Your loving 
providence. Have mercy on our Nation and world this day. Solidify the 
financial foundations of teetering nations and restrain those who seek 
to reap gain from others' woes.
  Lord, bless the many on Capitol Hill who give of their time and 
talents in such full measure to keep liberty's light burning brightly. 
May their trust in Your word sustain them with confidence in the 
difficult days to come.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
