                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Roderick Pearson, St. Mark Remnant Ministries, Central 
Islip, New York, offered the following prayer:
  Our Heavenly Father, we acknowledge You as the sovereign ruler of the 
universe and the divine guide for all of our lives. You said ask and it 
shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be 
open.
  To Solomon, one of the world's richest and most powerful leaders of 
ancient times, You offered to him, ``What shall I give to you?'' We 
offer this prayer in the same spirit of Solomon:
  O God, You have shown great mercy to our Nation because our 
forefathers walked in Your truth, in Your righteousness, and in 
uprightness of heart with You. You continue to be kind towards us. You 
have given these, Your servants, the ability to govern and serve. 
Therefore, now give to them an understanding heart, wisdom to judge 
Your people, that they might discern between good and evil. Let Your 
will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
  In the name of our Lord and Savior we pray. Amen.
