                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Guide us, great God, for we are pilgrims in this land. We are weak, 
but You are mighty. Guide us with Your powerful hands. Transform our 
memory so that whenever we encounter challenges, we will recall how You 
have blessed us in the past.
  Today give our lawmakers insight to discern truth from untruth, the 
high from the low, and the enduring from the transient. May they 
discern truth through the illumination of Your sacred world. May they 
know the high from the low through Your Holy Spirit's guidance. And may 
they distinguish the enduring from the transient by numbering their 
days and becoming more aware of life's brevity. Strong Deliverer, 
continue to be a shield for America.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
