                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of the harvest, we continue to seek You, for we desire to do 
Your will. You, O God, are our light and salvation, so we refuse to be 
afraid.
  As our lawmakers strive to walk uprightly, provide them with a 
harvest of truth, justice, and integrity. May they cultivate such 
ethical congruence that their rhetoric will be undergirded by right 
actions. Lord, keep them aware of Your continuous presence, as they 
find fullness of joy in doing Your will. Show them the path to life, as 
Your truth brings them to a safe harbor.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
