                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Unto You, O Lord, do we lift our hearts this day in praise and 
thanksgiving. You are our God and we put our trust in You. Lead us away 
from shame, for You are our rock and refuge.
  Today, give Your grace and strength to our lawmakers. Empower them to 
live worthy of every trust this Nation commits to their hands. Make 
them champions of liberty, messengers of peace, and servants of Your 
kingdom.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
