                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Most Holy and gracious God, who turns dark yesterdays into bright 
tomorrows, satisfy us with Your mercy, grace, and peace, that we may 
receive Your help for our time of need. Lift the light of Your 
countenance upon our lawmakers. Calm every troubled thought, and keep 
their feet on the path of peace. Lord, perfect Your strength in their 
weakness, and empower them to serve You in a way that honors Your Name. 
Guide their debates to expose truth, to produce creative compromise, 
and to bring solutions that will keep America strong. May they use 
their talents to renew peace in our Nation and world.
  We pray in Your magnificent Name. Amen.
