                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who restores peace in human hearts, thank You for Your 
many blessings. Guide our lawmakers so that they will discern Your 
purposes and become instruments of Your providence. Today, help them to 
speak words that will leave them without regret. May they play their 
part in these momentous times so that their labors will withstand the 
scrutiny of history and the judgment of posterity. May Your Spirit rule 
in our lives, teaching us to sacrifice our comforts for the good of 
others. Use us today as ambassadors of Your will.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
