                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Immortal, invisible God, in whose patient hands the mighty seasons 
move with quiet beauty, hallowed be Your Name.
  As our lawmakers face the complexities of their work, enlighten them 
with Your wisdom, lest the darkness prevent them from seeing the paths 
of Your providence. Lord, empower them to run and not be weary, to walk 
and not faint, keeping them always in Your care. May they find peace in 
the knowledge that You know and accept them as they are.
  God bless America. Drive back the forces of evil and release the 
powers of goodness throughout our land.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
