                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Almighty God, the fountain of wisdom and strength, thank You for the 
beauty and glory of this day. With Your life, You have provided us with 
a model of excellence. With Your sacrifice, You have infused us with 
victory for yesterday, strength for today, and bright hope for 
tomorrow. Lord, with Your presence, You have imparted a love that never 
fades, and with Your guidance, we have found dreams that lead to 
abundance. Lead on, Great King Eternal, for we follow not in fear.
  Guide the Members of this body to new levels of excellence. Give them 
robust health, faith for their perplexities, wisdom for their 
decisions, and light for the path ahead. Make them willing to be 
instruments of Your providence.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
