                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  As we look at the myriad decisions of the day and the options that 
are before us and all people, we pray, almighty God, for the assurance 
that Your Word does give. We know of the uncertainty of every life and 
we are aware of how our plans go awry, and yet we know too of the 
confidence we can have in Your love that sustains into every day ahead. 
May Your strong Word, O God, that brought the world into being and 
breathed into us the very breath of life, give each person the faith 
and hope and love to live each day with fullness and with grace. In 
Your name, we pray. Amen.
