                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, our strength in times of weakness, give us the power 
of purpose to do justly and to love mercy. Save our lawmakers from 
self-interest and pride, making them servants of Your will in 
challenging times. Lord, give them delight in Your guidance, enabling 
them to receive the blessings of the bountiful harvest that comes from 
living with integrity. Teach them to serve You with reverential awe, as 
they find refuge by abiding in Your presence. Thank you, this day, for 
the abundance of Your steadfast love.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
