                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, hear our prayers and be merciful to us. We find 
protection in the shadow of Your wings. Our longings lie open before 
You. You know the desires of our hearts.
  Sanctify the motives of our lawmakers so that they will work with all 
their might as if working for Your approval. May they live for Your 
glory. Lord, deliver them from the deceptive forces that seek to 
distract them from Your redemptive wisdom.
  Do not leave or forsake us, for You are the hope for our tomorrows.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
