                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us, molding and making us 
according to Your will. Thank You for the favor You show us, because we 
belong to You and have been chosen to fulfill Your purposes. Lord, help 
us to grasp the significance of Your unfolding providence as You 
continue to sustain us with the many acts of Your faithful love.
  Today, inspire our lawmakers to work to the best of their ability, 
striving always to do what is right for our Nation and world. Give them 
the wisdom in their labors to depend upon Your mercy, power, and grace, 
believing that You can do for them more than they can ask or imagine.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
