                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious God, without You, our mortal flesh is but disappearing dust. 
Draw close to our lawmakers, for, in Your presence, they can discover 
their dignity and destiny. Make Your face shine with favor upon them 
today as they strive to do Your will. Lord, give them the wisdom to 
seek Your guidance, depending upon Your redemptive power to direct 
their steps. Lift them into the saving knowledge that they are Your 
children, made in Your likeness. Strengthen them to plant seeds that 
will bring a harvest of peace and purity.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
