                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, the fountain of wisdom, teach us this day that You 
continue to work for the good of those who love You.
  Lord, strengthen the hearts of our lawmakers against temptations and 
make them more than conquerors in Your love. May they faithfully 
perform whatever You command, thankfully enduring whatever burdens You 
have chosen for them to bear.
  Lord, guard their desires so that they will not deviate from the 
right path. Empower them with Your mighty arms to do Your will on 
Earth, even as it is done in heaven.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
