                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins, Capitol Worship, Washington, D.C., 
offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, in loving our neighbor unconditionally is Your law 
fulfilled. But if we continuously devour one another, are we not 
consumed by our lust, incapable of walking in such love?
  Yet, if we belong to Christ, those devices have been crucified, 
because we have received the power of Your holy spirit, who bears 
witness in our life of Your graces: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, 
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.
  In these virtues, we must walk, restoring those who have been 
overcome by sin.
  For this purpose, Your Son ascended to Heaven's throne to bestow 
these healing graces upon us, Your children, allowing us to walk in the 
spirit, desiring to love one another, heal one another.
  Father, we know how to give good gifts to our children, but You 
promised these greater gifts to us, these gifts of the spirit, if we 
ask.
  So, Father, we ask: Give us Your spirit.
  In Jesus name we pray.
  Amen.
