                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, You are our light and salvation. We will not fear. 
You protect us from dangers, seen and unseen. We will not be afraid.
  You know the pressures and tensions that beset our Nation and the 
need for Your wisdom on Capitol Hill. Make all of us worthy of the high 
calling You have given us to be faithful stewards of the 
responsibilities before us to serve You and our country. Inspire our 
lawmakers to seek to serve, rather than being served, following Your 
example of humility and sacrifice.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
