                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who knows what is best for us, have Your way in our 
Nation and world. Release the power of Your providence on Capitol Hill, 
using our lawmakers to bring peace on Earth and good will to humankind.
  Lord, inspire them with Your wisdom in both their public and private 
lives, creating in them a desire to please You in all they do. May 
their first allegiance always be to You. Deliver them from that extreme 
hubris that sees itself as always right. Help them instead to remember 
that more can be accomplished by striving to unite rather than divide.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
