                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, give our lawmakers this day the wisdom to know Your 
words and obey Your precepts. As they follow Your leading, may they 
remember the many times You have delivered them in the past.
  Lord, give them the courage to not retreat from life's battles but to 
faithfully keep their hands in Yours.
  Guide us, Great Jehovah. We are pilgrims in this land. We are weak, 
but You are mighty. Guide us with Your powerful hand.
  In the time of our distress, console us with Your merciful presence.
  We pray in Your Loving Name. Amen.
