                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord God almighty, recreate our hearts to love You above all. Rule 
our lives, creating in us a passion to do Your will. Give our lawmakers 
renewed strength and resilience to honor You in their work. May they do 
their best today as an expression of love and gratitude to You. Lord, 
replace weariness with well-being, anxiety with assurance, and caution 
with courage.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
