                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who soars on the wings of the wind, we cry to You, and 
You hear us. You rescue us from life's deep waters, restoring us when 
we feel powerless.
  Continue to show Yourself faithful as our lawmakers seek to 
accomplish your purposes. Lord, be a shield for them as they place 
their trust in You. When they lose their courage, continue to be the 
God of their salvation. When they cry to You for help, answer their 
request. When they feel the pains of despair, fill them with Your hope, 
peace, and love. May they always remember that You will never forsake 
them.
  We pray in Your precious Name. Amen.
