                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, who has guided our lives and is the author and finisher of our 
faith, teach us to live for Your glory. Keep us from becoming 
intoxicated by the desire for success and protect us from the fear of 
failure that paralyzes noble striving. Lord, lead us through the valley 
of pride and across the gorges of pretension to the richness of Your 
transforming spirit of love. Today, guide the Members of our Nation's 
legislative branch with Your wisdom. Show them solutions to the 
problems that beset our land and empower them with the compassion that 
seeks first to honor You. We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
