                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, sometimes we feel that You hide from us. We cry 
aloud. It seems that we only hear the echoes of our despair. We 
sometimes believe that the wicked are winning. We sometimes believe 
that they rarely experience trouble and grief.
  Today, guide our lawmakers with Your truth. Show them the path You 
desire for them to take. Remind them that You are King forever, and, 
though the wrong seems strong, Your omnipotence will prevail.
  Hear our prayers, O Lord. Incline Your ears to us and give us Your 
shalom, Your peace.
  We pray in Your matchless Name. Amen.
