                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord, You are our King. The Earth celebrates Your majesty. Send peace 
today to Capitol Hill so that we will stay calm in life's turbulence 
and live worthy of Your goodness.
  As Your presence is felt by our lawmakers today, unite them so that 
they will be a force for good in our Nation and the world. May the 
thoughts they think and the words they speak be acceptable to You. 
Lord, fill them with Your wisdom so that their lives will be like trees 
planted by rivers of water that bring forth abundant fruit.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
