                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  We lift our hearts toward Your throne, O God, and bless Your Holy 
Name. You are great and worthy of our praise and thanksgiving. You have 
given us this great Nation as a heritage, and we are depending on Your 
providence to sustain us.
  Prosper the labors of our lawmakers as they put their trust in You. 
In Your loving kindness, bring them a productive harvest from the seeds 
they have planted and watered on good soil. Keep them from accepting 
the belief that it is not possible to get things done, as You remind 
them that all things are possible to those who believe. Though they 
walk in the midst of trouble, revive and refresh them.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
