                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Active and intervening God, we trust in You. Nothing can stop Your 
plan and Your purposes will prevail. Bless our lawmakers. Guide them on 
the right path so that they will be instruments of Your peace. Use them 
as salt and light to strengthen our Nation and world. Forgive them when 
they forget that You are still on Your throne and that the hearts of 
humanity are in Your hands. Help them to remember that Your power is 
far above any conceivable command, authority or control.
  Lord, as our lawmakers strive to contribute to building a better 
world, bless those who support them in their work. Help us all to trust 
You without wavering.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
