                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sacred God, You fill our hearts with songs. We are grateful for the 
hope, joy, and justice You bring to our world. Thank You that You will 
judge the world with righteousness and Your people with truth.
  Guide our lawmakers. Lead them even through life's dark places, as 
they place their total trust in You. Lord, remind them that darkness is 
as light to You. Protect them from life's storms, for You are their 
help in ages past and their hope for years to come. Inspire them with 
Your joy, as You place Your peace in their hearts.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
