                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, Your promises are sure. Bless our lawmakers in all 
their undertakings. In their friendships, keep them faithful and true. 
In their emotions, keep them calm and serene, free from anxiety and 
care. In their material things, give them contentment and generosity. 
In their spiritual lives, deliver them from doubt and distrust. In 
their work, give them guidance, courage, and success. And when 
misfortune comes, use the trials to bring them closer to each other and 
to You. Let nothing make their certainty that You alone are sovereign 
over their lives be shaken.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
