                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise, the kingdom, the power, and the 
glory belong to You. Make us to lie down in green pastures and lead us 
beside still waters.
  Lord, forgive us for peaceful talk and belligerent attitudes. In 
their quest for the best for all people, sensitize our lawmakers' 
consciences to hear Your voice, obey Your precepts, and to embrace 
justice, righteousness, and peace. Deliver them from that pride that 
refuses to acknowledge Your rule among the nations. Let integrity be 
the hallmark of their character. Help them to see that real security is 
found only in You.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
