                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, refuge of all who flee to You, send Your power among 
us, bringing comfort and direction for our lives. Be with our 
lawmakers. If their eyes have been closed to Your graces, open them. 
Make them so aware of Your providential movements in their lives that 
in the quietness of this moment of prayer, they will feel true 
gratitude. Lord, strengthen them to do Your will on Earth, causing 
justice to roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty 
stream. May they measure their attitudes and responses by the standard 
of Divine love.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
