                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Author of life, who puts into our hearts such deep desires that we 
cannot be at peace until we rest in You, mercifully guide our lawmakers 
on the path of Your choosing. May Your Holy word be for them a lamp and 
a light in these challenging times. Lord, keep them mindful of the 
importance of being men and women of integrity, striving to please You 
in all of their labors. Make them people of principle who share a 
strong vision of a godly nation with a promising future. May their 
humility match Your willingness to help them and their dependence on 
You liberate them from anxiety about what the future holds.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
