                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the source of our joy, in this season of gratitude, 
thank You for Your sustaining power and unsurpassed greatness.
  Lord, we borrow our heartbeats from You each day. Search the hearts 
of our lawmakers, guiding them with Your wisdom and empowering them 
with Your might. In all their labors, may they work for Your glory. 
Help them to stand true to what they believe, maintaining a clear 
conscience in all they think, do, and say. May they acknowledge You in 
every area of their lives, knowing that You will direct their path. 
Supply all their needs from Your glorious riches.
  We pray in Your gracious Name. Amen.
