                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O, God, our provider, we come to You in our weakness, seeking Your 
mercy and help.
  Lord, give us this day the mercy and grace of Your love that we may 
become all You desire us to be. Empower our lawmakers to cherish Your 
precepts and obey Your Word.
  Lord, keep them walking in the way everlasting. Strengthen them so to 
run that they may reach the destination You have chosen for their 
lives. Enable them so to strive that they may win the victor's crown. 
Prepare them so to keep the faith that they may persevere to the very 
end.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
