                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, enable us to fill swift hours with mighty deeds, bearing 
the fret of care, the sting of criticism, and the challenge of 
unapplauded toil.
  Lord, empower our lawmakers to think clearly, act kindly, and labor 
to preserve the freedoms we enjoy.
  Thank You for crowning us with glory and honor because we belong to 
You and trust in Your steadfast love. Lord, teach us to walk 
blamelessly, speaking the truth from our hearts and living with 
integrity.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
