                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Mighty God, the refuge and strength for all who trust You, come close 
to us, as we lift our hearts in prayer. Lord, help us to love You as 
You deserve. Inspire us to love one another as You have loved us.
  Today, bless our lawmakers in their work. Warm their hearts, increase 
their faith, and make them more conscious of Your transforming 
presence. Lord, breathe Your peace into their hearts, as they strive to 
build a better nation and world. Please do for us more than we can ask 
or imagine.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
