                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God our shield, the giver of victory and honor, shine on us with 
Your kindness that brings a rich harvest of joy.
  Today, guide our lawmakers with Your spirit and lead them by the 
power of Your prevailing Providence. May they trust You completely and 
permit You to remove obstacles from the road ahead.
  Lord, train them in Your school of humility so they will walk safely 
and never stumble. Help them to remember that all efforts to defend 
themselves will fail without Your grace and mercy. May they not trust 
in their own strength and ingenuity but instead lean on You the God of 
might and miracles.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
