                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Eternal God, You have withheld nothing we need. Today, continue to 
meet the needs of our lawmakers. Give them so much more than they 
expect or merit that they will sing praises for Your goodness. In these 
days of challenges and opportunities, empower them with faith, courage, 
and goodwill to make the world a better place. Lord, use them as Your 
servants to bring healing to our Nation and world. Today, we also pray 
for the ill, the bereaved, the infirm, the discouraged, the lonely and 
the homeless.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
