                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O rock of our salvation, You alone are our hope for the years to 
come. Because of Your mercies, You have given us the gift of this day. 
You have been our help in ages past, and we place our future in Your 
hands.
  Lord, forgive us when we do things our way, refusing to submit to 
Your holy will and seeking to derail Your wise and powerful providence. 
Remind us to seek first to stay within the circle of Your divine 
purposes, for You are God, and we are not.
  Today, use our lawmakers for Your glory. Give them the unity they 
need to accomplish Your will. Guide them with Your wisdom.
  We pray in Your matchless Name. Amen.
