                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, help us to so live that the generations to come will 
know of Your mighty acts. Today, give our lawmakers the singularity of 
heart to seek, find and follow Your will, so that their legacy will be 
exemplary. Lord, guide them in the path You have created, inspiring 
them with the potency of Your powerful presence. May they trust You in 
times of adversity and prosperity, knowing that they will reap a 
productive harvest if they persevere. Keep them from underestimating 
the power of Your great Name. And, Lord, we ask that You would sustain 
the victims and families of the Los Angeles airport shooting.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
