                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of creation, lead us through this day. Control our thoughts, 
words, and deeds as we serve as Your ambassadors. Show us the tasks 
that deserve our attention. Keep us from the wrong focus.
  Continue to sustain the Members of this body. Answer their prayers; 
protect them from dangers; keep them faithful.
  Help us all to remember that those who take refuge in You will never 
be put to shame.
  Bless our military men and women. Be their light in darkness. In Your 
great mercy defend them from perils and dangers. We pray in Your holy 
Name. Amen.
