                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, who, by Your glorious power, brought hope into our lives, fill 
our lawmakers with Your peace. In the intricate challenges they face, 
provide them with the ability to persevere. Through life's storms, 
Lord, may they experience a peace because of their palpable connection 
with Your divine presence. In Your boundless compassion, be for them a 
shade by day and a defense by night. Give them the wisdom to please You 
by striving to live blameless lives.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
