The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
Let us pray.
Gracious God, turn Your ears to listen to us. Without You, we are but
disappearing dust. Draw near to us, for in Your presence, we find our
dignity and destiny. Lord, breathe into us the saving knowledge that we
belong to You. May this awareness inspire us to live for Your glory.
Guide our lawmakers. Remind them that they can depend on You for the
vindication of every just cause, the forgiveness of every confessed
sin, and the protection from every weapon that is formed against them.
May they trust You to give them strength for today and bright hope for
tomorrow.
We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen
