                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Lord and our God, as the waters fill the sea, fill our Nation 
with people who know and love You. Remind us that righteousness exalts 
a nation, but sin is a reproach to many people.
  Today guide our lawmakers so that they will live for Your honor. 
Increase their faith, hope, and love, enabling them to become more 
effective instruments for Your glory. Lord, give comfort to all who 
seek You, for You have promised to supply all our needs from Your 
celestial bounty.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
