                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You are our defender and hope. On this 18th anniversary 
of September 11, we thank You that You never give us burdens too great 
to bear. Continue to remind us that eternal vigilance is the price for 
freedom. Comfort the families of those who died on 9/11, surrounding 
them with Your mercy and grace.
  Lord, incline Your ears to our intercession. Teach us how to embrace 
the things that lead to peace, as You instruct us on how to fulfill 
Your purposes on Earth. Today, use our lawmakers as instruments of 
reconciliation.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
