                                 PRAYER

  Pastor Zack Randles, Waterfront Church DC, Washington, D.C., offered 
the following prayer:
  Gracious and awesome God, we come before You today asking for 
guidance, peace, and courage. There is so much in the immediate days 
that we don't know, and there are so many pieces that are beyond our 
control. Thank You, God, that in stretches like this, we can turn to 
You. You are mighty, and You are able to lead us through whatever may 
come. You are wise and supremely creative to see pathways for 
deliverance and restoration. May we strive to lean into You this 
season.
  ``Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in 
Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its 
roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are 
always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to 
bear fruit.''
  Please, God, hold us together in our walk with You. Hold us together 
in our families, and hold us together as a country. You know exactly 
what is to come. I pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus.
  Amen.
