                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy God, who alone knows what a day will bring forth, draw our 
lawmakers closer to what You desire them to think, say, and do. May 
they find such inspiration in sacred Scripture that they will know and 
understand Your will, strengthened by the power of Your word. Lord, 
guide them by the unfolding of Your providence, directing them around 
obstacles that hinder Your purposes. Provide them with friendships that 
will enable them to see You more clearly and to follow You more nearly 
each day. Give them the wisdom to strive for a true faith of good 
conscience and genuine love that we may live peaceful and quiet lives 
in all godliness and holiness.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
