                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, we thank You for the throb of eternity within us, 
reminding us that life is not measured by mere heartbeats. Lord, we are 
grateful also that You continue to guide our Nation and world. As You 
guide the migration of birds, so Your hand guides us. Help us on our 
journey to be warned from our past mistakes, as we continue to believe 
that the price for freedom remains eternal vigilance. Lead us away from 
the illusion that we are standing strong and cannot repeat past 
failures.
  Lord, keep our lawmakers faithful to You and this land we love. May 
they strive to have a clear conscience before You and the people.
  And, Lord, we continue to pray for Ukraine.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
