                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of Hosts, Ruler of all nature, we magnify Your name. On today, 
many lift their hearts in prayer for our Nation. Lord, You have 
promised that a nation that humbles itself and prays, seeking Your 
face, will hear from You. You have promised to forgive our sins and to 
heal our land. Thank You for doing for America immeasurably more than 
we can ask or imagine. You have blessed us with wonderful freedoms and 
opportunities to accomplish Your purposes on Earth.
  Guide our Senators as they seek to be Your instruments. Empower our 
leaders to live for Your glory. Protect our military and those who 
daily risk their lives for freedom.
  Lord, we declare today that the kingdom, the power, and the glory 
belong to You. We pray this in Your awesome Name. Amen.
