                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, who put into our hearts such deep desires that we can't be at 
peace until we rest in You, satisfy the longings of our souls with Your 
merciful presence.
  Lord, open the minds of our lawmakers to the counsels of Your eternal 
wisdom, breathing into their hearts Your peace which passes 
understanding. Increase their hunger for justice in our Nation and 
world, as they find grace to seek first Your kingdom. May their moments 
and days ever flow in ceaseless praise.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
