                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, You are our shield and deliverer. You, O God, 
are our light and salvation. So we refuse to be afraid. Continue to be 
the strength of our lives, as we remember the many times You have 
protected and preserved America in the past.
  Lord, inspire our lawmakers with Your presence so that the words of 
their mouths and the meditations of their hearts will be acceptable to 
You. Help them to remember that You are an ever-present help for 
turbulent times, eager to empower those who depend upon Your might.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
