                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, Your kingdom is above all earthly kingdoms.
  Empower the Members of this body with the wisdom, courage, and 
strength needed for our times. Infuse them with a passion to act in 
ways that honor Your Name. Preserve their health and strength by Your 
mercy and power, and may they find Your grace sufficient for every 
need.
  Lord, bless also the citizens of this great land. Give them the 
wisdom to pray for our governmental leaders so that all people may live 
quiet and peaceful lives in all goodness and holiness.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
