                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of the ages, our God, great are the works of Your hands and of 
Your heart. You bless those who seek You. Forgive us when our self-will 
prevents You from doing in and through us all that You desire to see in 
our lives.
  Bless the Members of this body and those who work to support them. 
Let no shadow of shame darken their faces. Keep them on the road of 
integrity. Deliver them from foolish pride and give them the courage to 
pursue and embrace truth. Remind them that we harvest what we plant, 
whether good or bad. Reward their diligence with bountiful blessings.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
