                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy God, who inhabits eternity, lead our lawmakers with Your might. 
Help them to not run ahead of You or ignore Your wisdom. Restore their 
spirits with trust and hope, and order their steps toward Your desired 
destination. Lord, keep them calm in the quiet center of their lives so 
that they may be serene even in life's swirling stresses. Fill them 
with the peace that comes from keeping their focus on You. Help them to 
listen to others as attentively as they want others to listen to them.
  And, Lord, please bring peace to our troubled world.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
