                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  A contemporary rendering of the 23d Psalm provides a prayerful 
confession of faith as we begin this day:

The Lord is my strength, I shall not panic;
He helps me relax and rest in quiet trust.
He reminds me that I belong to Him and restores my serenity;
He leads me in my decisions and gives me calmness of mind.
His presence is peace.
Even though I walk through the valley of the fear of failure,
I will not worry, for He will be with me.
His truth, grace, and loving kindness will stabilize me.
He prepares release and renewal in the midst of my stress.
He anoints my mind with wisdom;
My cup overflows with fresh energy.
Surely goodness and mercy will be communicated through me,
For I shall walk in the strength of my Lord, and dwell in His presence 
      forever.
Amen.
