                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of our eternal hope, those who serve You live in Your presence. 
Give our lawmakers the wisdom to follow Your teachings. Let Your 
precepts lead them to make laws that will help the marginalized and 
strengthen our Nation's moral foundation. May Your wisdom provide them 
with strategies to defeat the enemies of this land. Remind them that 
You have a plan which will bring them to a desired end.
  Instill in them courage to love their enemies, grace to bless those 
who curse them, and power to pray for those who mistreat them. By their 
faithfulness, may they demonstrate daily that they are, indeed, Your 
children.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
