                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of our salvation, deliver us from fear. Your might and majesty 
continue to bring us peace in spite of the challenges we face. Lord, we 
can meet these challenges with Your power that transcends human 
understanding. When You whisper, dangers flee into the darkness. The 
sound of Your footsteps causes tribulations to hide.
  Almighty God, permit our lawmakers to be aware of Your providential 
guidance. May they depend on You to lead them according to Your will. 
Give them the wisdom to trust You when they can't see the road before 
them, believing that You will be their light in the darkness.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
