                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, fill us with Your power and might. Give us pure hearts 
that will drive out evil thoughts. Give us power to overcome sin and to 
conquer temptations. Empower the Members of this body with strength for 
the complex challenges they face. Infuse them with a love that banishes 
bitterness and creates a servant's heart. Remind them to forgive others 
as You have forgiven them. Guard their hearts and purify their speech.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
