                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, restore us to Your favor. You are our rock and 
salvation, our shelter in life's storms. Thank You that Your anger is 
only for a moment, but Your favor continues throughout the days of our 
lives. Though weeping may endure for a night, because of Your favor, 
joy comes in the morning.
  Lord, surround our lawmakers with the shield of Your divine favor. 
May no weapon formed against them prosper. Bless them when they are on 
the road, when they are going to bed, and when they are getting up.
  Hasten the day when, because of Your favor, justice will roll down 
like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
