                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Immortal God, Your Name is great throughout the Earth. We thank You 
for the undeserved favor You give us each day.
  Lord, You bless us with life, health, faith, hope, and love. You give 
us Your peace; great and marvelous are Your works.
  Today, guide the Members of this body with Your wisdom. Keep them 
from adding to our Nation's problems, and help them to resolve to 
become part of the solutions. Make clear to them the path of duty, and 
lead them in the doing of Your will. Provide them with counsel to deal 
with complex challenges, and infuse them with divine discernment to 
accomplish Your purposes. Open to them doors of opportunity to bless 
others.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
