                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You are our rock, refuge, and fortress. As the 118th 
Congress convenes, bless all our lawmakers in their going out and 
coming in, in their rising up and lying down, in their labor and 
leisure, and in their pleasure and pain.
  Lord, empower them to live with such reverence for You that their 
legacies will be like the light of morning at sunrise, like a morning 
without clouds, and like the gleaming of the Sun on new grass after 
rain.
  Lord, we pray for Damar Hamlin.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
