                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy One, we desire to do Your will. May we acknowledge You as the 
source of all that is worthy. Thank You for Your gracious righteousness 
that is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Lord, help us to find 
rest and contentment in You.
  Remind our lawmakers not to seek security apart from You. May they 
not forget that righteousness exalts a nation and that You are our 
shelter and shield. Equip them with everything good for doing Your 
will. Give them steadfast hearts, which no unworthy affection may drag 
downward. Teach them to serve You as You deserve.
  And, Lord, sustain those who are dealing with the trauma of the 
Amtrak train derailment in Philadelphia.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
