                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, who made light to shine in darkness, shine on Capitol 
Hill. Restore our lawmakers to the light of Your glory as we have seen 
revealed in Your sacred word. May they permit Your sacred Scriptures to 
provide a lamp for their feet and a light for their path. Refusing to 
lean upon human wisdom alone, help them to seek Your guidance and to 
follow where You lead. Like a shepherd, guide them and our Nation 
through the darkness and dangers of these challenging times.
  We glorify You, gracious God. We praise You for all Your blessings. 
Amen.
