                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we acknowledge that You have been our help in ages past. 
You are our hope for the years to come. You are our shelter in the time 
of storms. Thank You for the seasons of sowing and reaping, for color 
and fragrance. Thank You for the time of harvest when our labors and 
dreams are rewarded.
  Today, bless our lawmakers. Illumine their lives to keep them on the 
right path. May the creative power of Your word produce in them a 
stronger faith and brighter hope. Keep them from stumbling. Fill them 
with courage as You show them Your unfailing love.
  We pray in Your precious Name. Amen.
