                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, we rejoice in the hope we receive from Your mercies. 
Fill our lawmakers with strength for today and faith for tomorrow. Show 
them Your unfailing love as You provide them with Your wisdom to meet 
the challenges they face. May they trust You completely, whether in the 
sunshine or storm. Help them to remember the many times You have helped 
them when they had no solutions for their problems. Lord, lead them to 
be such true stewards of our national trust that they will transmit 
this Nation to our descendents far greater than it is today.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
