                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring 
it to pass.--Psalm 37:5.
  Gracious Lord, deliver us from the futility of lost causes and 
bankrupt ideas. Save us from thinking we are thinking, when all we are 
doing is rearranging our prejudices.
  Help us think originally, creatively, constructively.
  Lord God, let Thy will be done in our hearts and homes and offices.
  We pray in the name of Him whose human perfection lay in obedience to 
Thee. Amen.
