                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  O God, our help in ages past, free us to be open to Your gift of hope 
for years to come. Particularly, we pray for a lively hopefulness for 
today. Grant that we may not allow our experience of You in the past to 
make us think You are predictable or limited in what You can do today. 
Help us not to become so familiar with Your customary, daily blessings 
that we lose a sense of expectancy for Your special interventions in 
the complexities and challenges of this day. Today we will expect great 
things from You and we will attempt great things for You. In our 
worries and cares, give us the joy of knowing that You are with us. In 
our Lord's burden-banishing name. Amen.
