                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we praise Your Holy Name. Even when we don't understand 
the unfolding of Your providence, we place our trust in You.
  Show our lawmakers the path they should choose. Rescue them from the 
traps of their enemies, and remove their fears with Your might. 
Continue to renew their strength. Protect our legislators with Your 
might, reassure them with Your presence, and comfort them with Your 
goodness.
  Lord of Heaven's army, we give our lives to You, for no one who 
depends on Your compassion will ultimately fail.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
