                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who calls us to a life rooted in faith, immerse our 
lawmakers in the wisdom of Your Spirit. Guide them with Your insights, 
enabling them to be salt and light in the world, living with humility 
and integrity. As they strive to be a force for good, direct them 
around the pitfalls that prevent them from fulfilling Your purposes. 
Inspire them to rely on Your love as they seek to faithfully serve You 
and country.
  Lord, nurture within us all a godly sincerity and a daily reliance 
upon Your strength, wisdom, and love.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
