                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Michael Wilker, Lutheran Church of the Reformation, 
Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray, using the words of Dag Hammarskjold:
  Thou who art over us, Thou who art one of us, Thou who art, also 
within us.
  May all see Thee, in me also. May I prepare the way for Thee. May I 
thank Thee for all that shall fall to my lot. May I also not forget the 
needs of others.
  Keep me in Thy love, as Thou wouldst that all should be kept in mine. 
May everything in this, my being, be directed to Thy glory, and may I 
never despair. For I am under Thy hand, and in Thee is all power and 
goodness.
  Give me a pure heart, that I may see Thee; a humble heart, that I may 
hear Thee; a heart of love, that I may serve Thee; a heart of faith, 
that I may abide in Thee.
  Amen.
