                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord, the Earth belongs to You, the world and everything in it. You 
are an awesome and majestic God. When we have anxieties about what the 
future holds, remind us that the hearts of Kings, Queens, and 
Presidents are in Your hands and You guide them wherever You please. 
You are sovereign.
  Today, bless our lawmakers. Give them a positive attitude regarding 
the challenges they face. Lord, help them believe that You guard this 
Nation and will empower them with exactly what they need to lead with 
excellence.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
