                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of grace and glory, open our eyes to the power You provide for 
all of our challenges. Give us a glimpse of Your ability to do what 
seems impossible, to exceed what we can request or imagine. Encourage 
us again with Your promise to never forsake us and to render 
ineffectual the weapons we face.
  Strengthen the Members of this body in their efforts to do good, 
knowing that in due season You will bring a bountiful harvest. Sustain 
them during today's challenging labors. Give them more than human 
wisdom to solve the problems of these momentous times. Provide them 
with the insight to know what is right and the courage to do it. We 
pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
