                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Give ear to our prayers, Eternal God, and guide us like a shepherd 
leads a flock. Turn us toward You, as You cause Your face to shine so 
that we shall be saved. Feed our lawmakers with the bread of wisdom so 
that they will accomplish Your purposes. Delivering them from the 
tyranny of the trivial, may they trust You to guide their steps. As 
they remember the high price and preciousness of freedom, inspire them 
with the relentless and sacrificial vigilance required to preserve it.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
