                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Mighty God, judge the nations with Your righteousness and justice, 
and keep our lawmakers on the path of truth. May they strive to 
maintain a clear conscience in whatever they do for You and humanity. 
Lord, give them the wisdom to refuse to deviate from integrity, 
coveting Heaven's approval in their labors for Your Kingdom. May they 
also remember that they are representing Your divine purposes for our 
Nation and world.
  Lord, thank You that Your mercy is from everlasting to everlasting 
upon those who come to You with reverence. May Your glory endure 
forever.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
