                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord of our life, You are a shield for America. Because of Your 
mercy and power, we lift our heads with optimism. When we cry aloud to 
You during our moments of exasperation, You answer us from Your Holy 
mountain. We remain unafraid of what the future holds because You 
continue to sustain us.
  Lord, pour Your blessings upon our lawmakers so they will do Your 
will. Begin a spiritual awakening in our Nation and let it begin with 
us. Help us to know You better that we might love You more and thus be 
more useful to the advancement of Your Kingdom on Earth.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
