                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Mighty God, we praise You and will tell of Your marvelous works. Even 
in a chaotic and confusing time, You continue to bring us joy. Our 
enemies cannot conquer You. They stagger and disappear.
  Today, empower our lawmakers, silence the noises that distract them, 
enabling them to hear Your still, small voice. Lord, infuse them also 
with such courage that they will patiently endure even Your silence as 
they seek to fulfill Your purposes by their work. And, Lord, let Your 
peace and power prevail in our Nation and world.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
