                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our God and Father, the fountain of every blessing, we ask You to 
guide us through the challenges You use to test us and to lead those 
who represent the people of this Nation so that they will labor with 
courage, strength, and civility. For those who are struggling, may they 
find clarity to resolve each difficulty.
  Today, open our hearts to Your Divine guidance and our minds to Your 
peace. In a special way, be with the protectors of freedom who serve in 
our Armed Forces. Merciful Lord, we ask You to look after each of us in 
such a way that we may live up to our full potential for the glory of 
Your Name.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
