                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign Lord, we have heard of Your greatness from generation to 
generation. You sit enthroned in majesty, for Your glory covers all the 
Earth.
  Today, bless and sustain our lawmakers and their staffs. May their 
words and deeds honor You. Lord, guide them in righteous paths that 
will keep America strong. Equip them to conduct the work of freedom 
with justice and humility. Give them contentment that comes from 
knowing and serving You.
  Guide America, making it a lighthouse for a dark and turbulent world. 
Lord, thank You for being our strength and shield.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
