                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You are holy. We rejoice because we are sustained by 
Your strength. We receive honor because of the victories You bring to 
our lives.
  Bless our lawmakers. Keep them from stumbling or slipping as You 
increase their faith in You. Lord, use them to fulfill Your purposes on 
Earth, bringing release to captives, sight to the morally blind, and 
freedom for the oppressed and downtrodden. May they make our Nation and 
world better for the glory of Your Name.
  Lord, we praise You for Your glorious power. We celebrate Your mighty 
acts.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
