                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Infinite goodness, creator of the sea, Earth, sky, and air, enable 
our lawmakers to serve You in all holiness and to experience Your love 
which passes understanding. Let Your providential hand be over them and 
Your Holy Spirit ever be with them as they submit themselves entirely 
to Your will. Lord, direct their thoughts, words, and works to Your 
glory, as You increase their desire to please You. Give them grace to 
forgive their enemies, even as You have forgiven them.
  Lord, we ask that You would be with all those affected by the recent 
tornadoes and storms.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
