                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, Creator of all things, thank You for Your unfailing 
love and compassion.
  Lord, forgive us when we have fallen short of Your will. We have 
spoken when we should have kept silent. We have said nothing when we 
should have lifted a voice of concern.
  Create within our lawmakers clean hearts. Renew a right spirit within 
them. May they permit humility to precede honor. Give us the conviction 
that with Your help all things are possible.
  And, Lord, comfort all who mourn the death of United States Capitol 
Police Officer William Evans. Also, continue to keep Your healing Hands 
on Officer Kenneth Shaver.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
