                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, You answer us when we call. You extend to us Your 
mercies. Great is Your faithfulness. Stay close to our lawmakers, 
guiding them in these challenging times.
  Lord, inspire them to put their total trust in You as they find joy 
in Your abiding presence. Deliver them from discouragement as they seek 
to exalt You by the way they live.
  Lord, give them the wisdom to cultivate reverence for You and Your 
precepts.
  We pray, in Your sacred Name. Amen.
