                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, as Hurricane Ian wreaks havoc, protect those in 
harm's way. Lord, we thank You that the winds and the waves obey Your 
will.
  Today, make us aware of our need for Your presence, and empower us to 
reach out to others in Your Name. Lord, teach us to pray, and sustain 
us by the wonders of Your Word. Give us truths that will strengthen our 
minds, souls, and hearts. In times of distress, grief, confusion, and 
misunderstanding, illuminate our paths with the light of Your 
companionship.
  Guide our lawmakers in their challenging work, for You have promised 
never to leave or forsake them.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
