                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord most holy, who sustains us each day, thank You for the 
opportunity to serve You and country.
  Empower our lawmakers to serve You with strength and courage, 
refusing to deviate from the path of integrity. Lord, remind them of 
the importance of seeking Your wisdom. As You give them an awareness of 
Your abiding presence, supply their needs according to Your celestial 
riches. Use them to transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows.
  Lord, make each of us instruments of Your peace. Use us to carve 
tunnels of hope through mountains of despair.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
