                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, You are our God. We can stay composed even in a storm because 
of Your presence. We need You and stay thirsty for You, for Your power 
and glory uplift us.
  Give our lawmakers the gift of Your steadfast love, blessing them 
beyond all that they can ask or imagine. May they praise Your Name each 
day. As they depend on You, empower them to confront life's challenges 
and hardships, knowing that they are never alone. Lord, satisfy their 
souls with good things, transforming the mundane into the meaningful. 
Purify their hearts, revealing to them Your plans for the prosperity of 
our Nation and world.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
