                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We remember, O gracious God, those who need a special measure of Your 
grace and protection. We recall the needs of those who do not benefit 
from the support and love of family and must find their own way through 
the uncertainties of life. We pray for those whose lives are disrupted 
and torn apart by the conflicts in our world even as we support all 
those who work for reconciliation and peace. We remember those whose 
days are filled with struggles for the basic essentials of life and for 
those who have little hope. Fill their lives, O God, with the fullness 
of Your spirit that they may be blessed by Your presence and receive 
new hope by Your Word. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
