                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign God, author of liberty, we gather in this historic Chamber 
for the solemn responsibility of these impeachment proceedings. Give 
wisdom to the distinguished Chief Justice, John Roberts, as he 
presides.
  Lord, You are all-powerful and know our thoughts before we form them. 
As our lawmakers have become jurors, remind them of Your admonition in 
1 Corinthians 10:31, that whatever they do should be done for Your 
glory. Help them remember that patriots reside on both sides of the 
aisle, that words have consequences, and that how something is said can 
be as important as what is said. Give them a civility built upon 
integrity that brings consistency in their beliefs and actions.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
