                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, center of our hope, You have given us this day for our 
use. From the rising of the Sun until the setting of the same, Your 
Name deserves our praise.
  Today, bless our lawmakers with Your guidance and peace. Give them 
hope and purpose as they labor on Capitol Hill, reminding them that 
their steps are ordered by You and that You won't withhold from them 
any good thing. Show them that righteousness is the true measure of 
national greatness and that sin will destroy any nation or people. 
Lord, encourage them to wisely use their time to contribute to the 
quality of life in our Nation and in our world.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
