                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of our lives, whose commands we cherish and in whose service we 
find joy, thank You for the gift of this day. Inspire our lawmakers to 
fill the waiting hours with labor that will open doors of new 
possibilities for our Nation and world. Lord, stir their hearts to 
seize today's opportunities to do Your will on Earth, repairing 
yesterday's wrongs and grasping tomorrow's promises. Enlighten their 
hearts with the knowledge of Your love, as they strive to make this 
world a better place. Use them to provide cheer to sad hearts, faith to 
doubting hearts, and courage to fearful hearts.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
