                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Eternal Savior, creator of the world, give us this day a sense of 
Your majesty. Fill our lawmakers with faith in Your power to help them 
solve the pressing problems of our time. Lord, enable them to meet 
their responsibilities with courage and optimism, looking always to You 
as a guardian and guide. When life's pressures overwhelm, give them 
patience and the joy of experiencing Your peace and love.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
