                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, before the mountains were settled and the hills brought 
forth, Your power and majesty were known. Come to our lawmakers on 
Capitol Hill today. Come as light to enlighten their minds. Come as 
truth to teach them Your precepts. Come as Spirit to transform their 
hearts. Come as fire to purge from them the dross of transgression. 
Come as power to use them in Your service. May Your presence provide 
them with such patience, steadiness, and encouragement that they will 
be instruments for Your glory.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
