                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we exalt You, for You continue to rescue us. You have 
done for our Nation infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Lord, 
You refuse to permit our enemies to triumph over us. You hear our cries 
for help, sustaining us with Your might.
  Today, continue to use our lawmakers for Your glory. As they become 
aware of Your presence, may their lives experience the fulfillment and 
strength that You alone can give.
  Help them to remember that You are still their refuge and strength, a 
very present help in the time of trouble. Send them forth to face this 
day armed with faith in You.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
