                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, thank You for Your presence and blessings. We cling to 
Your promise to always be with us, keeping us secure in spite of life's 
dangers.
  As we recall January 6, 2021, we ask You to stay close to our 
lawmakers. Use them to keep the enemies of freedom from succeeding.
  Mighty God, have mercy upon this great Nation. Because of Your 
constant love and great mercy, wipe away our sins. Give us the wisdom 
to recognize our faults, particularly when we seem to forget that 
eternal vigilance is still the price we pay for freedom.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
