                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, Your hand is open wide to satisfy the needs of every 
living creature. Make us always thankful for Your loving providence, 
enabling us to remember the account we must one day give to You. 
Empower the Members of this body to be faithful stewards of Your good 
gifts. May they use their influence and power to bring glory to Your 
Name in all the Earth. May their lives provide exemplary models of 
excellence for others to follow.
  And, Lord, we continue to ask You to guard our troops in harm's way.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
