                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God, You are our God. Eagerly we seek You, longing to see Your 
strength and glory. Today, assure the Members of this body of Your love 
and give them unshakeable confidence in Your providential leading. 
Lord, teach them what they should think and do, as You illuminate their 
path so that they will not stumble. As You have led this Nation through 
troubled times in the past, be now to us our source of life and light 
and wisdom. Inspire us all so that we may know and do Your will.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
