                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We pray, gracious God, for a clear vision of ourselves and of the 
world in which we live and work and have our being. Enable us to see 
ourselves as we truly are--created in Your image and marked by 
opportunities to be the people You would have us be--and also aware 
that we often miss the mark and lose the vision. We know, O God, that 
if we do not see the heavenly vision and miss the direction for our 
lives, our steps will wander and we will lose our way. Open our eyes, 
gracious God, so we see the path to freedom and opportunity and of 
service to others. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
