                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Charlie Martin, Indian Rocks Baptist Church, Largo, 
Florida, offered the following prayer:
  Lord, we humbly pray for Your blessings upon our people today. 
America needs what only You can provide. We want Your will, we need 
Your direction, we desire Your peace, and we ask Your protection for 
all people. We read where You said, ``If my people which are called by 
my name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn 
from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their 
sins and heal their land.''
  Please bring healing to America and to all of our world. For our 
leaders, O God, grant wisdom for each decision and bless their families 
with Your love. This we pray in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen.
