                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Glorious God, the source of our strength, fill us with life anew. 
Strengthen and guide our lawmakers by the light of Your counsels, 
directing their steps. Lord, open their eyes so that they may discern 
Your truth and courageously obey Your precepts. Give them reverence for 
You in all their thoughts, words, and actions. Think Your thoughts 
through them, providing them with the peace, power, and patience needed 
to do Your will on Earth.
  Eternal God, we give You all praise, glory, blessings, and honor.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
