                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, our strong tower, continue to be our defender and 
guide. Lead our lawmakers in their work so that they will make Your 
priorities their priorities. Provide them with the patience, integrity, 
and compassion to become instruments of Your providence. Strengthen and 
protect them. Keep them safe from evil. Give them such courage and 
loyalty that they will passionately embrace Your precepts. Lord, infuse 
them with the spirit of wisdom, sympathy, and godliness as they grow in 
grace and in a deeper knowledge of Your providential love.
  And, God, continue to sustain Ukraine.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
