                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, we are in Your hands and may we rejoice above all things in 
being so. Do with us what seems good in Your sight.
  Today show mercy to the Members of this legislative body. Let Your 
sovereign hand be over them and Your holy spirit ever be with them, 
directing their thoughts, words, and works. Lord, prosper the works of 
their hands, enabling them in due season to reap a bountiful harvest. 
Strengthen their hearts in Your ways against temptation and make them 
more than conquerors in Your love.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
