                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our rock and our fortress, thank You for guiding our lives. 
Without the unfolding of Your loving providence, we would miss life's 
music. Lord, You have set our feet on solid ground and delivered us 
from our enemies. You have kept us from sorrow and sighing for we trust 
You in life's storms.
  Today, empower our lawmakers to be instruments of Your will. Remind 
them that their times are in Your hands as You save them in Your 
steadfast love. Give them serenity to accept what they cannot change 
and courage to change what they can.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
