                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Terry Ribble, Grace Bible Church, Dunmore, Pennsylvania, 
offered the following prayer:
  Our gracious Heavenly Father, we come into Your presence today 
acknowledging that You alone are God and worthy of all worship.
  We declare that You are the Creator and Sustainer of all things and 
the one who provides the means of forgiveness to all mankind.
  We recognize Your sovereign rule over Heaven and Earth and that we, 
Your created beings, are Your stewards.
  Father, we thank You that You allow us to live in a nation where 
everyone has freedom to worship You according to the dictates of their 
own hearts.
  We pray for wisdom for our elected officials. Give them the ability 
to discern the times in which we live and to see the consequences of 
their actions. Guide them in making decisions that will serve our 
Nation best.
  May Your spirit move across our land, bringing a new spiritual 
awakening.
  Father, cause Your face to shine upon our Nation and give us peace.
  In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
