                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord God Almighty, may our hearts be right with You so that our lives 
will honor You. Bless the Members of this body. Provide them with all 
the direction, defense, support, and consolation they need for life's 
journey. As they keep their minds on You, infuse them with Your 
wonderful peace. Lord, give them an abundant supply of Your spirit that 
they will submit to You in every trial, trusting You even when walking 
through the valley of shadows. Uphold them by Your might that they may 
move forward with faith and perseverance.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
