                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Help us, O gracious God, to translate the blessed hopes and dreams 
that are Your gift to us into our daily lives. May we be inspired and 
encouraged to live lives that are worthy in Your sight and do such good 
deeds that reflect the trust we have in Your providence. May the 
expressions of faith that we profess not be limited to the words we 
say, but may find a living reality in our actions and in our deeds, and 
may the comfort and peace and assurance that Your word proclaims be 
found alive in our hearts and souls. In Your name we pray. Amen.
