                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Majestic God, we ask for the fruits of Your unrivaled wisdom in these 
challenging times. Give our leaders the strength and courage to triumph 
over stagnation and conflict, and grant us forgiveness for our 
shortcomings.
  We praise You, O Lord, for we belong to Your Kingdom, and we are Your 
children. Bestow upon our great Nation Your everlasting light, and let 
Your perpetual goodness shine upon us.
  Lord, our greatest debt of gratitude is owed to You, for without You, 
we can do nothing. Give us, this day, light to guide us, courage to 
support us, and love to unite us.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
