                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, source of our strength, we come before You today 
remembering that Your presence, power, and purpose sustain us during 
life's dangerous days. It is comforting to know that in every 
situation, You are always present to empower us with Your love and 
wisdom.
  Today, use our lawmakers as instruments of Your peace and love. 
Examine their hearts and minds, providing them with the courage to walk 
continually in Your truth. Look favorably upon their efforts to bring 
peace to a war-torn world.
  And, Lord, bless our Nation, bring healing to this land we love until 
all our strivings cease.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
