                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, whose kingdom is above all earthly kingdoms, give our 
lawmakers this day clean hands and pure hearts to serve You for the 
glory of Your Name. Lord, equip them with grace, strength, and wisdom 
to face successfully the challenges that beset our Nation and world.
  Infuse them with a creativity that will inspire them to do their work 
according to Your will, causing justice to roll down like waters and 
righteousness like a mighty stream.
  Lord, give them peace of soul when their thoughts and plans are right 
and disturb them when they drift from what is best. Lead them in paths 
of integrity, courage, and truth.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
