                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, who has been our help in ages past and our hope for years to 
come, keep our lawmakers under the canopy of Your care. We do not ask 
You to separate them from life's stresses and strains but to keep them 
by Your grace amid sunshine and shadow.
  Lord, shelter them in their coming in, in their going out, and in 
their daily work, that they may be Your instruments to advance Your 
Kingdom. May they call You during turbulent times, claiming Your 
promise to deliver them. Encompass them with the everlasting arms of 
Your love and grace that never fail.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
