                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Forgiving God, keep us mindful of the potential arrogance of power 
and how it can destroy trusted leadership. As the Old Testament says 
concerning Uzziah, King of Judah, As his power increased, his heart 
grew proud, and this was his ruin.--II Chronicles 26:16, Jerusalem 
Bible.
  Gracious Father in Heaven, at a time when cynicism and distrust are 
epidemic, send us spiritual and moral renewal, and let it begin with 
leadership. Humble us, Lord, before it is too late. Restore to us the 
dream of our forefathers, the trust in God that generated that dream, 
and forbid that we should be willing to settle for anything less.
  In the name of Truth. Amen.
