                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, thank You for being our strength and shield, for we 
trust You to guide our steps. Bring unity to our lawmakers so they will 
be a force for good for the American people and the world. Refresh 
their faith, renew their vision, and rekindle their courage so that 
they can find common ground and glorify You in the living of their 
days. Lord, stir their hearts with the presence of Your spirit, 
preparing them to be instruments of Your will.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
