                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of our hopes, by Your might the mountains are made firm and the 
roaring seas are still. You have challenged us to ask, to seek, and to 
knock in order to receive from Your bounty.
  So we ask for Your favor upon the Members of this body that they will 
do Your will. We seek Your wisdom in order to find solutions to 
challenges that require more than human ingenuity. And we knock on the 
door of Your sovereignty, believing that in everything that happens, 
You are working for our good.
  Show us how to find Your truth, even in the midst of error. We pray 
in Your holy Name. Amen.
