                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, thank You for Your guidance, protection, 
wisdom, and love. We are grateful for Your compassion, for You are full 
of mercy and eager to forgive. We find refuge in the shadow of Your 
wings.
  Lord, sustain our lawmakers. Teach them how to live and serve. May 
they honor You in their thoughts, words, and deeds. Give them the 
wisdom to live in complete dependence on You so that Your power can 
work through them. Help them to be attentive to Your precepts and 
sensitive to the unfolding of Your loving providence.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
