                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of wonders beyond all majesty, You are holy. We lift our hearts 
to You today in gratitude for Your goodness and mercy that continue to 
follow us. Today, guide our lawmakers by Your grace. Lord, show them 
Your ways; teach them Your path. May the law of love direct their 
labors, opening the door of new opportunities for service. Empower them 
to turn from the thoughts, words, and deeds that violate righteousness.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
