                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, may Your Name be magnified. Today, give our lawmakers 
the wisdom to put their trust in You. Help them to accept Your guidance 
and seek Your insights. Keep them from being intimidated by the many 
challenges they face, infusing them with confidence in Your power. Make 
them so sure of Your presence that no task may be too wearisome for 
them and no setback too daunting. Let their faith lead them away from 
strife and division as they find unity for the good of the Nation and 
world. May they depend unswervingly upon Your unlimited goodness.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
