                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who locked the oceans in their vast reservoirs, we honor 
Your glorious Name.
  Lord, Your power has sustained our Nation in the past, and we place 
our future in Your hands. Each day we are inspired by the splendor of 
Your holiness. We see Your handiwork in the glory of the sunrise and 
the majesty of the sunset.
  Lord, continue to rule in the lives of our lawmakers. Do not turn a 
deaf ear to their prayers, as they seek to do Your will. Be for them 
their strength and shield during these challenging days. May they 
continue to find in You a future and a hope.
  We pray in Your amazing Name. Amen.
