                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty and everlasting God, mercifully look upon our infirmities 
and, in all our dangers, defend us.
  Lord, sometimes You seem so far away. We cry out to You and seem to 
only hear the echoes of our laments. As our lawmakers reach out to You 
night and day, enable them to connect to Your matchless power. May they 
find in You a sure refuge, a shelter from the storms.
  Lord, strengthen the weakness of our faith, and give us trust for our 
trembling and hope for our fears. Give us patience, cheerful endurance, 
and serenity of mind.
  Lord, place your healing hands upon John Bessler, Senator Rand Paul, 
and others who need to feel Your touch.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
