                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, give our lawmakers this day the wisdom to seek Your 
guidance and to make time to consider and act on your precepts. May 
they not simply embrace the opinions of others but seek Your truth for 
their lives.
  Lord, make them muscular thinkers, not merely reflectors of the 
thoughts of others. Help them to make pleasing you, O God, their first 
priority. May they serve You with such humility and gratitude that You 
can bless them in ways that stagger their imaginations.
  And, Lord, be with the members of the illustrious Senate page class, 
who will be leaving us tomorrow.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
