                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our Father, we lift up our hearts in prayer because we trust 
in You. Lord, we know well the weakness and the insecurity of our hold 
upon this life.
  Comfort those who have lost loved ones during this global health 
crisis. When we wrestle with sad memories of mortal loss, give us the 
glorious hope of life eternal.
  Lord, provide our lawmakers with the confidence that Your all-
sufficient grace and power will enable them to become more than 
conquerors during this time of trouble. Remind them that no one who 
trusts in You will ultimately be disgraced.
  Mighty God, our forebears trusted in You, and You delivered them. Be 
not far from us, for You are the source of our hope.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
