                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, source of the light that never dims, empower us to 
glorify Your Name. Forgive us when we cast away our confidence in You. 
Lord, thank You for Your infinite goodness that directs our hearts to 
seek Your wisdom, power, and love.
  Remember our lawmakers. Give them a faith that can overcome 
obstacles, challenges, and setbacks. Fill each of us with the joy and 
peace that comes from believing in You.
  And, Lord, we thank You for the gift of Barbara Bush, as we praise 
You for her life and legacy.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
