                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal and ever blessed God, help us to walk in Your steps. Show us 
the path of humility so that we will seek to serve others. Show us the 
path of forgiveness so that we will give others the same kind of mercy 
we so frequently receive from You. Show us the path of courage so that 
we can choose the challenging and narrow way that leads to life. Show 
us the path of endurance so that we will not become discouraged in 
doing well. Show us the path of loyalty so that nothing can tempt us to 
disappoint You.
  Bless the Members of this body as they strive to walk in a way that 
will honor You. As they seek Your wisdom, guide them by the power of 
Your loving providence.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
