                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious God, we pause this morning to fix our hearts upon You. Let 
our trust in Your sovereignty produce a love that will order our system 
of values. Create in us a desire to serve Your purposes and increase 
the treasure of Your kingdom.
  Bless the Members of this body as they face today's challenges. Make 
them gentle, yet brave; confident, yet humble; wise, yet uncomplicated. 
May they meet life with calmness, trouble with fortitude, hate with 
forgiveness, disloyalty with kindness, and persecution with faith.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
