                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who judges justly our Nation and world, we honor Your 
Name. You are so patient with us. Cleanse our eyes, that we may see 
more clearly. Open our hearts, that we may love You more dearly. Lord, 
we confess that sometimes injustice seems to prevail. Avenge injustice, 
O God, and cause the godly to rejoice. Deliver us from those who seek 
to set an ambush for freedom.
  Lord, give our lawmakers the wisdom to look to You for safety, for 
You are our strength and salvation.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
