                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Strong Deliverer, You have crafted our lives for service. Guide our 
lawmakers to walk with integrity. May they examine their hearts, 
comprehending the motives behind their thoughts, words, and deeds.
  Lord, grant that their gratitude for Your loving kindness will compel 
them to walk in Your truth and abide by Your precepts.
  O Lord, we trust You with our tomorrows, as we feel Your presence 
each hour. We know You will carry us through the darkest night.
  We pray in Your glorious Name. Amen.
