                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins, Capitol Worship, Washington, D.C., 
offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, this morning we pause to remember Your humble 
servant, 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Rabbi Romi Cohn, who lost his 
life this week and who just 2 months ago, at this very dais, as a guest 
chaplain, marked the 75th anniversary of his Auschwitz liberation.
  May his memory be a blessing.
  Lord, where can we run to hide from an enemy we cannot see?
  On 9/11, we saw its hand: the planes crashing the towers, the clouds 
of dust covering its victims, no tests needed.
  Those fortunate could flee, but not now, not today. So are we all, as 
it might seem, trapped above the 93rd floor? No, we have a place to 
run.
  So let our hearts be comforted from the words of David's psalm. We 
have a place to run, to that rock that is higher than us all, a 
tabernacle from the storm, our Jehovah Shalom, our Jehovah Jireh, an 
everlasting tower and a strength from our enemies.
  We have a rock. He is our God, a place to hide.
  These things I pray in Jesus' name.
  Amen.
