                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Gracious God, our Father, help us to get inside what is happening in 
others so that we may see things with their eyes, think things with 
their minds, and feel things with their hearts. Strengthen us to be as 
kind to others as we wish them to be to us. Empower us by Your Spirit 
to be as faithful to others as You have been to us in spite of our 
shortcomings and failures.
  Help us to make the same allowances for others as we would wish them 
to make for us.
  Help us to express the same empathy for others as we would want them 
to have for us, when we hurt.
  Help us to have the same respect and tolerance for the beliefs and 
ideas of others as we would wish them to have for ours.
  Help us to understand others as we would wish to be understood.
  So we commit this day to seek to be to others the giving and 
forgiving love You have been to us. Through Him who taught us the 
secret of serving others. Amen.
