                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O, maker of the seas and the Earth, speak to our hearts. Teach us to 
cling to the things that endure beyond time. When we are tempted to 
doubt, remind us of Your unfailing precepts. Sustain our lawmakers 
today in their important work. Help them to sacrifice and not to count 
the cost; to toil and not to seek for rest; to strive and not to ask 
for any reward except that of knowing they are doing Your will.
  Use them today to do all the good they can for as many as they can 
for the honor of Your Name.
  Amen.
