                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who has been the hope and joy of many generations, thank 
You for giving us the power to seek You. We praise You for Your promise 
that those who keep on seeking will find what they seek. Inspire our 
lawmakers to seek Your wisdom in order to be guided by Your loving 
providence.
  Lord, give them a clearer vision of Your truth, a great faith in Your 
might, and a deeper assurance of Your love. Teach them to labor and not 
to ask for any reward except that of knowing they are doing Your will.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
