                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are grateful, O God, for the blessings that have come to us and to 
our Nation. In good times and in times of trial, Your spirit of 
creation and renewal and comfort has been our constant guide and 
encouragement. For all Your gifts, gracious God, we offer our 
thanksgivings--for liberty and freedom, for opportunity and vision, for 
healing and help, for family and friends, and for the works of justice 
and the bounty of Your mercy, we offer these words of prayer. Bless us 
this day and every day, we pray. Amen.
