                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, our rock and fortress, You put the mountains in place 
and bring silence to roaring waves. You are a strong tower where we 
find safety. We ask You for peace on Earth and good will to humanity. 
Lord, strengthen our faith, and forgive us for doubting Your power and 
providence. Thank You for this great land and for the many freedoms we 
sometimes take for granted. We appreciate Your faithfulness and Your 
mercies that are new each day.
  Today, lead our lawmakers so that Your Name will be honored. Protect 
them from hidden dangers, and sustain them through the lengthening 
shadows.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
