                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious God, let Your glory be over all the Earth. Thank You for 
Your faithfulness that endures forever.
  Today, give our lawmakers steadfast hearts that will honor You. 
Provide them with wisdom to strive to do Your will. May their debates 
and discussions not degenerate into incivility. Lord, lead them 
throughout life's changing scene, strengthening them for every 
challenge. Remind them of the importance of reverential awe, which is 
the beginning of wisdom.
  Grant us all wisdom and courage for the living of these days.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
