                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God of mystery and clarity, You are the fountain of light, 
and in Your light we see light. Lead our lawmakers safely to the refuge 
of Your choosing. Guide the Members of this body, making them faithful 
stewards of Your will. Give them understanding and integrity so that 
they may work to fulfill Your purposes. Empower them to endure 
hardships as good soldiers of Your kingdom, as You defend them with 
Your Heavenly grace. Lord, provide them with courage to face perils 
with total trust in You.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
