                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, You keep us from stumbling and falling. We 
trust Your power. We sing of Your steadfast love and proclaim Your 
faithfulness to all generations. Make us one Nation, truly wise with 
righteousness, exalting us in due season.
  Today, inspire our lawmakers to walk in the light of Your 
countenance. Abide with them so that Your wisdom will influence each 
decision they make. Keep them from the evil that brings grief, enabling 
them to avoid the pitfalls that lead to ruin. Lord, empower them to 
glorify You in all they say and do.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
