                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, ruler of the universe, provide our lawmakers with a 
perspective that will enable You to use them for Your glory. May they 
see themselves as called to serve You and the people of our Nation and 
world. Use this perspective to motivate them to remove the obstacles 
that prevent them from working together and accomplishing Your 
purposes. As they continually seek to discover opportunities they agree 
can make them more productive, give them the wisdom and courage to 
always strive to honor You.
  And, Lord, bring a speedy end to the Hamas-Israel war.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
