                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, far from the world, we come to You in prayer, boldly 
entering Your throne room to be blessed by Your sweet presence. Thank 
You for the calm retreat of fellowship with You.
  Thank You for our lawmakers. Continue to inspire and sustain them, as 
Your wisdom illuminates their path. May they be faithful in their 
service to this Nation and to you. Lord, dwell in this Chamber and in 
their minds so that they will think Your thoughts and discover Your 
solutions.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
