                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, we trust in Your unfailing love and commit our lives 
to You. Help us to live in purity so that we will never dishonor You. 
Guard our minds so that our thoughts will please You as we passionately 
seek Your truth.
  Today, strengthen the Members of this body in their work. Use them to 
bring comfort and courage to the less fortunate. Help them to give 
their hearts to You and seek to please You in all they do and say. May 
they find their peace and freedom in knowing You. Empower them to live 
in such a way that by the wisdom of their words and the power of their 
example, others may be moved to give their hearts to You.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
