                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign Lord, through all the generations, You have been our refuge 
and strength. You are without beginning or end.
  Lord, how fleeting are life's seasons. We disappear like grass that 
springs up in the morning but by evening has begun to wither. Guide our 
lawmakers as they seek to confront the problems of our time with Your 
solutions. Give them stability and serenity as they strive to 
accomplish Your purposes. Help them to see their legislative work as a 
divine calling and mission.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
