                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, to whom we address our prayers and petitions and from 
whom comes every good gift, we pray for the strength of mind and body 
and spirit so we will do the works of justice and mercy. As the prophet 
Isaiah has reminded us, we can grow weary and tired in our labors and 
yet we are comforted by the prophet's words that they who wait upon the 
Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like 
eagles, they shall run and not be weary. We pray for Your strength, O 
God, that sustains in all the seasons of our lives, so we will do Your 
good work this day and every day. Amen.
