                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You don't disappoint those who look to You in faith. 
Guide our lawmakers by Your truth and instruct them with Your wisdom. 
Lord, lead them to do what is right and to stay on Your path. Keep them 
from being intimidated by the many challenges they face, knowing that 
Your grace is sufficient for every need. May they be true to You, 
living so that their words and actions will receive Your approval. Help 
them to live this day with a sense of accountability to You.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
