                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, our refuge and strength, Your Kingdom cannot be shaken. 
We praise You that more things are wrought by prayer than we can 
imagine. We are grateful for Your invitation to ask and receive, to 
seek and find, and to knock for doors to open.
  May this prayer that opens today's session be a springboard for our 
lawmakers to communicate with You throughout the day. May they pause 
repeatedly during their challenging world to ask You for wisdom and 
guidance. Lord, empower the members of their staffs and all who labor 
for liberty to harness prayer power continuously.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
