                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Master, You are our strength and song. We find sustenance in 
Your might and joy in Your creation. We praise You for the beauty of 
the Earth and the glories of the Heavens that bring blessings to our 
earthly pilgrimage.
  Today, guide our lawmakers with Your glorious wisdom and the 
greatness of Your majesty. Fulfill Your purposes for their lives as You 
order their steps. Show them such unfailing love that they will walk 
before You in wholehearted devotion.
  Lord, place Your healing hands upon our Nation and world, delivering 
us from this global health crisis.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
