                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Holy God, You make the clouds Your chariot and walk upon the wind. We 
see Your works in the rising of the Sun and in its setting. For the 
beauty of the Earth and the glory of the skies, we give You praise.
  Today, make our lawmakers heirs of peace, demonstrating that they are 
Your children as they strive to do Your work on Earth. May they take 
pleasure in doing Your will, knowing that by so doing they are 
fulfilling Your purposes in our world.
  Lord, You are never far from us but often we are far from You, so 
show us Your ways and teach us your paths. Thank You that Your mercy is 
from everlasting to everlasting upon those who come to You with 
reverence. May Your glory endure forever.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
