                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord our Lord, the majesty of Your Name fills the Earth. You know 
every heart and mind, and You always do what is right. You give us 
peace even when the storms come. You save us from ourselves. You bring 
strength to our Nation and help keep it strong. Great and marvelous are 
Your words.
  Today, give the Members of this body the wisdom to trust You. May 
they seek Your guidance for their decisions and lean upon Your loving 
favor. As they depend upon Your spirit, help them to possess Your truth 
in their minds, Your love in their hearts, and Your kindness on their 
lips. Make certain that each step they take is sure.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
