                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, who has stretched out the heavens and marches on the waves of 
the sea, Your great works are too marvelous to understand. Thank You 
for the glory of the sunrise and the majesty of the sunset, for Your 
miracles that are without number and for Your providence that sustains 
us.
  Strengthen our lawmakers. Empower them this day to mount up on wings 
like eagles, running without weariness and walking without fainting. 
May their consistent communion with You be expressed in their thoughts, 
words, and actions. Lord, make them one in the common cause of justice, 
righteousness, and truth.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
