                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray. God of love, whose Spirit is known by those with 
thankful hearts and who makes cheerfulness a companion of strength, 
lift our hearts to a joyous confidence in Your care. Lord, give us 
opportunities to tell of all the marvelous things You have done in our 
Nation's history, as we seek to glorify Your Name.
  Lord, guide and protect our lawmakers. Teach them to find and trust 
You as they grow in grace and in a knowledge of Your providential 
leading. Remind them that when they feel overwhelmed, You stand behind 
the dim unknown to deliver them from doubt. May they claim Your promise 
to provide them with mercy and grace to help them in their time of 
need.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
