                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who commands the morning to appear, we honor Your Holy 
Name.
  Lord, guide our lawmakers to find delight in Your guidance. May Your 
wisdom provide them with food for reflection, morning, noon, and night. 
Renew their strength, as they seek for ways to reduce the violence in 
our land.
  Lord, provide them with uncommon wisdom to bring greater respect for 
the preciousness of each person made in Your image. Give us all a 
greater reverence for the sanctity of every life.
  Lord, provide us all with the power to be productive for You in every 
season of life, as You cause our plans to flourish.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
