                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the fountain of wisdom, we cherish Your presence and 
honor Your Name.
  Give our lawmakers the wisdom to live with honor, as they remember 
their accountability to history and You. Lord, remind them that You are 
glorified when they walk on the path of integrity, striving to please 
You in all they say and do. May their lives bring light to darkness, 
unity to division, and order to chaos. Lord, grant that they will 
become living letters read by those who desire to believe that You 
continue to rule in our world.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
