                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign God, You see all that happens in our world as You lead us 
by Your mercies and grace. Continue to shower our land with Your 
blessings, protecting us from the forces that hinder freedom. Give our 
lawmakers the wisdom to obey You, striving always to do what is right. 
May their words be true and sincere and their actions be characterized 
by honor and respect. Help them to keep their promises to You and to 
one another, no matter how great the challenges may be. Lord, enable 
them to walk securely in the path of Your will. We pray in Your great 
Name. Amen.
