                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer.
  Let us pray.
  We wait patiently for You, eternal God, for You have been our help in 
ages past and our hope for years to come. You listen to the voice of 
our intercession and permit us to feel Your presence just when we need 
You most.
  Cultivate in our lawmakers a great trust in You. Turn them away from 
false solutions as they seek Your wisdom and obey Your commands. Lord, 
make them Your instruments of wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation 
so that Your will may be done on Earth. Give them a passion to 
accomplish Your purposes.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
