                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, answer us in our trouble and protect us with Your 
mercies. We celebrate Your triumphs in our history, believing that 
victory belongs to You alone. Lord, we have relied on You since the 
birth of this Nation, and You will always be our God. We have trusted 
in Your power through the seasons of our lives, so do not abandon us.
  Lord, when our lawmakers stumble and fall, help them to rise and 
stand firm. Continue to rule the nations of Your world.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
