                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Master, You are too good to be true. Repeatedly throughout 
our history, You have been our anchor. Continue to bring stability and 
unity to our lawmakers as they strive to do Your will on Earth, even as 
it is done in Heaven.
  May they trust Your promises, remembering that You are that rock-
solid mountain on which they can always depend. Lord, encircle them 
with the shield of Your favor, doing for them more than they can ask or 
imagine. Renew their commitment to You as their guide and guardian and 
enable them to successfully meet the challenges of our time.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
