PRAYER
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, president, International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, Chicago, IL, offered the following prayer:
Our Father in Heaven, we come be- fore You this day and every day in awe, in gratitude, in praise, in humility, and in prayer. This, indeed, is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
O Lord, instill in our hearts a love for You and for all Your creation. May we be ever mindful that it is from You that we derive our strength, our wisdom, our hope, and our conviction.
May we be inspired by Your Word and reminded of Micah's admonition to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with the Lord our God. May we never avert our eyes from the pain and suffering of others.
O Lord, on this and every day, we seek Your guidance and direction. Watch over our leaders-indeed, the men and women in this room.
Let us pray for the peace of Jerusalem as Psalms 122:6 urges us to do, and indeed for peace among all people of all nations. So that, instead of finding swords and weapons we will find only plowshares and pruning forks. We, the people, look to God and You to bring that day of peace about.
In the words of the age-old Jewish prayer, "He who brings peace in the Heavens may He bring peace to us and all the world." God bless you and be with you. Amen.
