                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our God, we honor Your name. Every day we praise You for You 
deserve our admiration. We will tell this generation of Your mighty 
works so that Your name will be known by those not yet born. We 
celebrate Your matchless mercy and Your power to save.
  Thank You for keeping Your word, for picking us up when we have 
fallen. From Your hands, we find satisfaction and fulfillment for every 
need.
  Today guide the Members of this body with Your love. Answer them when 
they ask for Your help. Be for each of them a shade by day and a 
defense by night. May they exercise sound judgment as they listen 
closely to Your wisdom. Keep them in the path that leads to love.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
