                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  To You, O Lord, we lift our hearts, for we trust You to guide our 
lives. Show us the path where we should walk; point out the right road 
for us to follow. Lead our lawmakers by Your truth, as they put their 
hope in You. Lord, give them the humility to accept Your guidance so 
that with reverence they may arrive at Your desired destination. Hear 
their silent prayers, as they give their time and strength to keep 
America strong. Kindle in their hearts a flame of devotion to freedom's 
cause in our Nation and world.
  Lord, on this 72nd anniversary of D-day, we thank You for the courage 
and self-sacrifice that paid the price for our freedom.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
