                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, this day we give You our lives, for without You, we are 
like dust in the wind. Shield us from disgrace as You surround us with 
Your protection, mercy, and love. Remind us that disgrace comes to 
those who seek to deceive others.
  Lord, sustain our lawmakers, show them the right plans, point them to 
the right path, and lead them to the right destination. Continue to 
keep them from stumbling or slipping, so that one day they will stand 
in Your presence with great joy.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
