                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy God, who loves all and forgets none, thank You for the guidance 
of Your sacred words, a light for dark times.
  Lord, we are grateful You provide wisdom for those who revere You. 
Send help and strength to our lawmakers, that they may strive to honor 
You in every endeavor. Inspire them to mount up on wings like eagles, 
running without weariness and walking without fainting. Lord, give them 
the wisdom to have a conscience void of offense toward You and 
humanity.
  Eternal God, hear our intercessions, answer them according to Your 
will, and make us all channels of Your mercy and love.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
