                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the center of our joy, give our lawmakers a passionate 
dependence on Your guidance. May they trust You so completely that they 
will patiently wait for the unfolding of Your prevailing providence. As 
they acknowledge that You direct their steps, strengthen them to 
confidently follow where You lead. May they strive to walk by faith, 
believing that their times are in Your hands. Lord, give them pure 
motives and a commitment to be faithful to You. Pursue them with Your 
blessings all the days of their lives as they seek to do what is right 
and fair.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
