                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, inspire us today to give You our best. Help us to focus 
on serving You and bringing honor to Your Name.
  Lord, guide our lawmakers in their challenging work. Open their minds 
and hearts to be ready to do Your bidding. Use them as instruments of 
Your purposes, shining Your light through them to dispel the shadows in 
our Nation and world. Help them to live to please You, demonstrating 
conclusively with actions that they follow You. Give them the wisdom to 
encourage and help each other in the important work of guarding our 
freedom.
  We pray in Your magnificent Name. Amen.
