                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, speak to our lawmakers and fill 
them with bright memories, holy commitments, and deep resolve. May 
their bright memories remind them of the way You have guided and 
protected this Nation throughout the seasons of its history. May their 
holy commitments prompt them to be true to their duties to stand for 
right though the heavens fall. May their deep resolve motivate them to 
not become weary in doing Your will. Lord, remind them that without 
Your power, human efforts are useless.
  Today, bless the women and men of our armed services. Place Your 
shield of protection around them and their loved ones.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
