                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, creator and sustainer of our lives, thank You for the 
gift of freedom. Lord, we are grateful for the religious, political, 
and social freedoms that bless our lives. Remind our lawmakers to think 
seriously about the blessings of liberty as they help people to reflect 
soberly about the cost of protecting our democratic way of life.
  Raise up on Capitol Hill people who are true to You and who will 
follow wherever You lead. As they accept Your guidance, lift their 
burdens and keep them from being bogged down by trying to carry their 
problems without Your strength.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
