                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins, Capitol Worship, Washington, D.C., 
offered the following prayer:
  We bow before You, O Sovereign Magistrate, in the solemn gaze of 
Moses, Your emissary and lawgiver of truth revealed, considering with 
all gravity the eternal consequences our actions create whenever we 
judge our fellow man, knowing we shall all stand before the judgment 
seat of Christ and give an account to Him of every pejorative word 
spoken.
  For with what measure we judge, from such measure we shall receive 
our deserved judgment.
  So may we first carefully examine our own eye, asking Your Holy 
Spirit to reveal and remove any beams that have blemished our veracity.
  May You be judge, O God, and plead our cause against the ungodly, for 
we have all sinned.
  Deliver us from deceitful and unjust men, for there is nothing hidden 
that shall not be revealed. Mendacities spoken in darkness shall be 
shouted from the housetops.
  For Your mercy and grace we plead, Lord Jesus.
  Amen.
