                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, strong to save, whose arm has bound the restless 
waves, we praise You for Your magnificent love that awakens us each 
day.
  Thank You for lawmakers who strive to do justly, love mercy, and walk 
humbly with You. Lord, continue to guide their feet and teach them Your 
paths.
  In these complex times, show yourself strong on behalf of those who 
love You. Solve the riddles that confound us. Confuse those who seek to 
hinder the unfolding of Your loving providence.
  Lord, bring sanity to a world that often seems to spin out of 
control. Nothing is impossible for you, so transform our dark 
yesterdays into bright tomorrows.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
