                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, who has been our guiding light throughout life's seasons, keep 
our lawmakers within the circle of Your divine will. Lord, give them 
hearts that seek Your wisdom, feet that flee from evil, and hands that 
serve Your purposes for our Nation and world. Empower them to be 
faithful to You and their calling to do Your will on Earth, inspiring 
them with Your purpose to live lives above reproach. May they be guided 
by integrity as they permit righteousness to deliver them from trouble. 
Make them worthy of Your redemptive love.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
