                                 PRAYER
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Pour down upon us, gracious God, the mercies and the judgments of 
Your word. Where we have missed the mark, grant us correction; where we 
have denied Your spirit and gone our own way, grant us forgiveness; 
when we have spoken the truth and done good works, give us 
encouragement; when we feel alone or in need of Your healing care, 
grant us Your abiding peace. We place before, O God, our prayers and 
the secret petitions of our hearts asking that Your word speak to us in 
the depths of our being. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
