                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, You are our God alone. Early to You we lift our hearts in 
praise. We look to You today to sustain us, for because of You we live 
and move and breathe. By Your power, we find life and joy and peace. 
Today, help us to focus on Your love that can make us messengers of 
understanding and purveyors of justice to our Nation and world.
  Lord, give to our lawmakers the peace that the world can't give, 
protecting them from seen and unseen dangers. Encompass them with Your 
strength and meet their every need.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
