                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, we wait in reverence before Your throne. Cleanse us from 
our sins, creating in us clean hearts, while renewing a right spirit 
within us.
  Help our lawmakers today to discern Your voice and do Your will. Give 
them the ability to know Your guidance from all others', permitting You 
to lead them to Your desired destination.
  Lord, speak to them through Your holy Word, guide them with Your 
spirit, and sustain them with Your might. May they strive to permit 
justice and righteousness to flourish in this generation and beyond. 
Use them to rescue those who suffer because of violence and oppression.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
