                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of grace, glory, and power, the battle belongs to You. We are 
grateful that even though storms rage, we can continue to anchor our 
hopes in You. Forgive us for sometimes painting a caricature of the 
many because of the pathology of the few.
  Inspire our lawmakers to keep their eyes fixed on You. Imbue them 
with wisdom that they may know the road to take. Lord, rescue them from 
danger, as You carve tunnels of hope through mountains of despair.
  Let the peace we seek in our world be first conceived in our own 
hearts.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
