                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  O God, at times it seems You have rejected us. Our defenses have 
broken down, and we feel vulnerable. Come and renew us with Your 
spirit.
  You have rocked the whole country, and it is split open. You have let 
some of our people suffer hardships. Others seem drunken on fine wine.
  But, You have warned those who fear You, there is no escape before 
the judgment falls.
  Deliver those who are dear to You. Save them with Your powerful right 
hand. Answer with the word spoken from Your holy sanctuary.
  The memorials built on the past speak of Your victories. Now, You 
need the cooperation of Your people. So once again with Your help, they 
may do valiantly. And You, our God, will prove victorious and receive 
the glory, both now and forever.
  Amen.
