                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You alone are our God, our sure defense and safe haven. 
Give us the wisdom to refuse to trust in our strength but to depend 
totally on You. Continue to illuminate the minds of our lawmakers as 
You lead them with Your truth.
  Lord, purify their mistakes and remove their disappointments as they 
strive to live for Your glory. Arise up and help them. Ransom them with 
Your unfailing love. Lord of Heaven's armies, stay among us as You 
continue to be our fortress for life's journey.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
