                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We offer this prayer of gratitude, O gracious God, for Your word to 
us is one of hope and comfort and peace. In a world that knows the 
realities of conflict and pain, Your word gives consolation and solace. 
We know, too, that in our own lives we can experience the 
disappointments and frustrations that lead to apprehension and anxiety. 
Into our lives and into our world, we pray, O loving God, that Your 
spirit will lift us from that which hinders and detracts, and give us 
the heavenly vision of faith and hope and love. For these and all Your 
good gifts, O God, we offer this prayer of thanksgiving. Amen.
