                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, whom to know is life eternal, by the might of Your 
spirit, give our lawmakers faith in what You are willing to do with and 
for them. May no challenge seem too daunting when they remember Your 
power and love as well as the many ways You have already intervened to 
save us in the past. Lord, be their abiding reality, leading them into 
the paths of faithful service that honors You. Stay near when they are 
weary, as they learn to anchor their trust in Your saving grace. Help 
them to trust You to guide and provide, as You inspire them with Your 
presence and power.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
