                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our help in ages past, our hope for the years to come, 
continue to guide our lawmakers during these challenging times, infuse 
them with wisdom and energy so that they will not become discouraged by 
what sometimes seems overwhelming. Lord, show them the road that will 
lead to a desired destination, as You assure them of Your presence, 
love, and grace. Help them to defer to each other, to respect each 
other so that, by attitude and action, they will reflect Your divine 
will.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
