                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we find rest in the shadow of Your protection. Shield 
our lawmakers in their work with Your love so that they may grow in 
wisdom.
  Lord, show them how to use today's fleeting minutes for Your glory, 
becoming Your instruments to permit Your Kingdom to thrive on Earth. 
Sanctify their thoughts as they remember that, because of You, they 
live and move and have their being.
  We praise You this day, O God, for You are the alpha and omega, the 
beginning and the end.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
