                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  O Lord, our rock, You are our shield in the time of storm. We give 
You our hopes and dreams, knowing that You know what is best for our 
Nation and world.
  Sustain our lawmakers. May integrity and uprightness be the standards 
for their conduct so that they will not be put to shame. Lift the light 
of Your countenance upon them and be gracious to them. Give them fresh 
strength and wisdom, as You renew the drumbeat of Your Spirit in their 
hearts, empowering them to march to the rhythm of Your righteousness.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
