                                 PRAYER

  Pastor Zack Randles, Waterfront Church, Washington, D.C., offered the 
following prayer:
  God, we come before You today as a nation staring into a fog of 
uncertainty. With less than a month to the election and a global 
pandemic complicating just about every aspect of life, may we remember 
today that the intensity of the present will not last forever. Our 
struggles, though very real and all-consuming, are only for a season. 
While it is day, may we tirelessly work to complete the task that You 
have set before us. God, give us the tools we need to humbly lead, 
listen, and strengthen those around us. Let us speak with wise words 
laced with courage and faith so that when the fog is lifted, we do not 
need to feel ashamed of these days. It is in the name of Jesus we ask 
these things.
  Amen.
