                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, the hope of the world, let Your kingdom come. Let Your will be 
done on Earth as it is in heaven.
  Fill the minds of our lawmakers with Your truth so that they will 
labor for freedom with integrity and compassion. Lord, use them to 
establish Your rule in the life of our Nation. May they be guides who 
lead us away from sin, sorrow, and destruction, toward truth, justice, 
and peace. Shelter them in their coming in and going out, in their 
labor and leisure, as they seek to advance Your kingdom.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
