                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help during 
challenging seasons. Thank You for the opportunity to serve You and 
country.
  Use our lawmakers for Your glory. May they experience companionship 
with You throughout this day. Permit this fellowship with You to impart 
wisdom, courage, and inspiration. Make them so aware of Your presence 
that they will refuse to major in minors and minor in majors. Remind 
them that lawmakers can work miracles with cooperation but accomplish 
little with legislative brinksmanship. May they make the doing of Your 
will their highest priority.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
