                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our shelter in the time of storm, in an anxious, 
troubled, and violent world, we turn to You seeking light and life for 
our day, faith and freedom for our world, and triumph and truth for 
this generation.
  Abide with our lawmakers. Make them mindful of Your presence, eager 
to do Your will, and committed to serve this land we love. Lord, use 
them to work for the triumph of truth. Strengthen them with Your Spirit 
so that they will meet today's challenges with daring faith and 
transcendent wisdom.
  Hasten the day when justice shall reign in the relationships of 
people, and peace shall regulate the affairs of nations.
  Lord, bless the people of France.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
