                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You are our rock and salvation. You are our high tower, 
and we shall not be moved. Forgive us when we forget to trust You to 
order our steps and direct our path.
  Lord, thank You for our lawmakers, who seek to fulfill Your purposes 
in their labors. Give them the wisdom and courage they need to glorify 
Your Name as they strive always to live worthy of the mercies You daily 
bestow. May their work be a delight as they make You the only 
constituent they always seek to please.
  Help us all to remember that You know what is best for us; so please 
have Your way.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
