                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God our strength, You fulfill the desires of those who trust in 
You. You are great in power and infinite in understanding. Give our 
lawmakers today a sense of Your nearness. May they open their hearts to 
Your presence, their minds to Your precepts, and their willingness to 
Your providence. Remind them, Lord, that You are the source of their 
abilities and the one who opens doors of opportunity that will keep 
this Nation strong. Dwell with them and make them productive for Your 
glory. We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
