                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Living God, we bless Your Holy Name. We praise You for the abundance 
of Your love and for Your peace that transcends understanding. Lord, 
even in the midst of the cacophonous, You permit us to hear Heaven's 
harmonies.
  Today, inspire our lawmakers to depend on Your grace. As they rely on 
Your promises, empower them to obey Your precepts, finding in Your 
wisdom a lamp for their feet and a light for their path. Sustain them 
with Your sweet presence when they walk on weary roads, and continue to 
bless them with the constancy of Your love. Send Your Spirit to bring 
quiet and serenity into their souls.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
