                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God, You are life, wisdom, truth, and blessedness. You are our hope 
and the center of our joy. Lord, the Founders of this great Nation 
walked in Your guidance and rested in Your compassion. Unite us so that 
we can do Your will. Remove from us all evil desires and empower us to 
embrace the good. Speak to our Senators so that they may understand 
Your will for our Nation and world. Illuminate their understanding with 
beings of celestial grace. Make us thankful for the privilege of 
prayer. May we never take it for granted.
  And Lord, we continue to pray for Ukraine.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
