                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy Father, thank You for the showers of blessings You bestow upon 
us each day. Help us to open our hands to Your generosity, expressing 
our gratitude in loving obedience.
  Lord, inspire our lawmakers to live for You, striving to please You 
in their every endeavor. May they not forget that they belong to You, 
the Great Shepherd of their destinies. Go before them, that they may 
follow in Your steps. Go behind them to steer them when they stray. And 
go beside them so that they will experience the strength and joy that 
come from Your abiding presence.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
