                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins, Capitol Worship, Washington, D.C., 
offered the following prayer:
  Merciful Father, in times like these, we need Your Holy Spirit to 
refresh us, cleanse us. In times like these, we need Your word revealed 
to heal us. In times like these, we need Your prophet to speak, ``This 
is the way, walk ye in it.''
  In times like these, we need our sins, which are many, washed in Your 
blood. In times like these, we need reminding that before Your throne 
there is no party, no race, no gender, no saint--just sinners saved by 
grace. In times like these, we need reminding that wisdom is not 
debated, it comes through fearing You. In times like these, when we 
feel victimized by our circumstances, let us become more than 
conquerors through Christ who strengthens us.
  And yes, in times like these, when we see so many around us in 
desperation, remind us one more time, we are our brother's keeper.
  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
