                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of all mercies, in whose love and wisdom lies all our hope, still 
our anxious hearts as we bring our weakness to Your might, our failure 
to Your perfection, and our smallness to Your greatness. From a world 
with its tragedies and setbacks, we turn for this hallowed moment to be 
still and know that You are God.
  Continue to sustain our lawmakers. Save them from the dangers that 
lurk in a flawed judgment of confused reckoning and a narrow outlook. 
Bless the members of their staffs who labor with them to keep our 
Nation strong.
  And, Lord, comfort the Biden family and all those who are grieving 
the loss of Beau Biden.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
