                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our rock of safety, hear our prayers. Help us to live 
that the generations to come will know of Your mighty acts.
  Today, give our lawmakers the hearts to seek, find, and follow Your 
will. Lord, guide them in the path You have created, inspiring them 
with the potency of Your powerful presence. May they trust You in 
adversity and prosperity, knowing that they will reap a productive 
harvest if they persevere.
  Lord, we trust You to lead us with Your loving providence.
  We pray in Your merciful Name.
  Amen.
