                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the center of our hope, You have given us this day for 
our use. From the rising of the Sun until the setting of the same, Your 
Name deserves our praise. Today, bless our lawmakers with Your guidance 
and peace. Give them hope and purpose as they work on Capitol Hill, 
reminding them that their steps are ordered by You and that You will 
supply their needs. Show them that right defeated is better than 
triumphant evil. Lord, encourage them to wisely use their time to 
contribute to peace and harmony in our Nation and world.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
