                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we run to You for safety. You are our help and hope, and 
every good thing we have is a gift from You. Your laws teach us the way 
to abundant living, for Your word is perfect and Your precepts bring 
truth.
  Today we pray for the citizens of this great land. Incline their 
hearts to submit to You and to governmental authority. Remind them that 
righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is an equal opportunity 
destroyer.NOTICE

  Strengthen our lawmakers. Help them to heed constructive criticism as 
You imbue them with the desire and determination to please You. Keep 
their feet on the right road, inspiring them with a reverence for You. 
May they strive to tell the truth and to find creative ways of solving 
the problems of our time.
  We pray in the Name of Him whose power and love sustains us. Amen.
