                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Jack Graham, Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano, Texas, 
offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, we are blessed by Your presence, amazed by Your 
grace, and dependent upon Your strength for every day. We praise You 
for Your abundant provision, and we are forever grateful for Your 
sustaining love. We do not take these blessings for granted. We make it 
our holy ambition to glorify You as we offer our lives in devoted 
service to Your Kingdom first, and to our beloved country.
  We pray for one another with the confidence that You hear repentant 
hearts and respond to those who humbly seek to obey You and live by 
Your wisdom.
  We pray for personal renewal, for robust faith, and a vibrant vision 
for the future. Remembering that righteousness exalts a nation, we turn 
to You and trust You to not only make us great, but to make us good.
  We pray in the name of God, who is able to raise His dear Son, the 
Lord Jesus Christ, to life and give us eternal hope in Him.
  Amen.
