                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You rule forever. Lord, we see change and decay in our 
world, but Your power and might continue to sustain us. Great is Your 
faithfulness. You remain our shelter by day and defense by night.
  Today, surround our lawmakers with Your generous blessings. As they 
seek to honor You, provide them with the wisdom to keep our Nation 
strong. Lord, bless them with Your compassion, mercy, and love as You 
continue to answer their prayers.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
