                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, You reveal Yourself in the glory of the Heavens and in the 
whisper of conscience. Make us aware of Your presence as this day 
unfolds. Lord, grant that this knowledge of Your involvement in our day 
will influence our thoughts, words, and deeds. Help us to focus on 
serving and pleasing You as You lift us above suspicions and fears. 
Sustain our lawmakers in their important work. Lord, remind them that 
to do something well usually requires the patience to persevere. 
Increase in us all a hunger and thirst for righteousness.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
