                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Hear our prayers, Lord, and deal graciously with our petitions. We 
put our trust in Your word, as we lean upon Your loving kindness and 
tender mercies. Bless this land we love, infusing its citizens with 
strength, wisdom, and faith. Lord, guide those whom we ourselves have 
set in authority, keeping them from disorder, discord, and division. 
Lift them to the heights of Your great purposes so they will have daily 
insights into Your will and way.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
