                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, today make our lawmakers instruments of Your grace and 
goodness. Teach them how to be patient with themselves and each other. 
Forgive them when they permit impatience to lead them astray, 
preventing them from seeing the wonder and majesty of Your purpose for 
our Nation and world. Lord, renew in them the joy of belonging to You 
as they yield their hearts to You in trust and love. May no duty be 
left undone and no constructive words be left unsaid.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
