                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O mighty God, our gracious King, we thank You that Your power is 
still active in our Nation and world. Forgive us when we forget that 
You continue to rule Your universe. Lord, we are grateful for the 
confidence You have given us that You hear and answer our prayers. Use 
the Members of this body as ambassadors of reconciliation. Help them to 
create laws that will bring wholeness to a fragmented nation and world. 
Lord, infuse them with a spirit of contemplative stillness so that they 
will find joy in righteousness, justice, and integrity.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
