                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit who honors those whose walk is blameless, we praise 
You for being with us this day. Lord, You have embraced our Nation as a 
worthy possession, providing us with protection when we need it most.
  Sustain our lawmakers as they seek to do Your will. Empower them to 
see You more clearly, love You more dearly, and follow You more nearly 
this day and always. May they look to You for guidance, claiming Your 
promise to direct their steps. In challenging seasons, give them the 
wisdom to lift their eyes to You, receiving Your grace and mercy.
  Most holy God, thank You for Your love and faithfulness.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
