                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Griffin Lotson, Sams Memorial Church of God in Christ, 
Darien, GA, offered the following prayer:
  Our Father and Lord, we thank You for all Your blessings as we pray 
today for our Nation and our leaders in America. Today we pray for Your 
protection for every man and woman serving in our Armed Forces. We pray 
for strength for their families. May they know the peace of God that 
passes all understanding.
  God, You guide all creation with loving care and establish an order 
that governs all of us. God help us to trust in Your faithful love and 
deepen our love for one another, especially for those most in need. We 
pray for our schools, teachers and students, for their spiritual and 
educational success.
  Give us knowledge to know that it is You who are the source of our 
unity and peace. It is You who unites us all. This we ask in the Lord's 
name. Amen.
