                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, we are grateful for life and all of its gifts. Thank 
You for the beauty of the Earth, for the majesty of the skies, and for 
the wonder of Your love and grace.
  Draw near to our lawmakers as they seek to see You more clearly, love 
You more dearly, and follow You more nearly each day. Lord, let the 
light of Your understanding illuminate the path they travel. Teach them 
to trust Your precepts and to obey Your commands, permitting You to 
guide them with Your wisdom and might. When this day is done, may they 
look back with the realization that they have been loving and kind, 
generous and faithful, joyful and good.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
