                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Tim Bunn, Karcher Church of the Nazarene, Nampa, ID, 
offered the following prayer:
  Father, today we pause to recognize that You are sovereign and there 
is no other God before You. Lord, we pray that Your will may be done as 
Your Son requested it may ``* * * on earth as it is in heaven.'' We 
know that for His prayer to be answered requires our obedience and 
service to You.
  Heavenly Father, I pray specifically for the representatives of the 
people of the United States of America. Lord, as they represent rich 
and poor, ghetto and mansion, farm and factory, may their actions be 
motivated by the desire to serve others.
  Theirs, Lord, is a task greater than human wisdom can answer; 
therefore we call on You recognizing Your sufficiency when our 
resources are inadequate.
  Father, we pray for peace and justice in our homes, our Nation, and 
our world. We invite You to use us to create it. We pray that You will 
heal our land where we are damaged and bless our lives with Your 
presence.
  Father, we love You and praise You in the name of Your Son Jesus who 
suffered in our place. Amen.
