                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our shield, as we approach the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 
holiday, we thank You for raising up leaders who appeal to the better 
angels within us. Use our lawmakers to lead the quest for justice to 
roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. As they 
lead our Nation, guide them around the obstacles that hinder their 
progress, uniting them for the common good of this great land. Lord, 
enable them to go from strength to strength as they fulfill Your 
purposes for their lives in this generation. May they stand for right 
and leave the consequences to You.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
