                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, inspire our lawmakers to commit to accomplishing Your 
purposes in our Nation and world. As they seek Your wisdom, teach them 
Your precepts and direct their steps. May they live lives of obedience 
and abundance as they follow where You lead.
  Lord, provide them with courage to do right as You give them the 
ability to follow Your footsteps. Help them to make glorifying You 
their top priority.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
