                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Almighty God, You have told us that nothing can separate us from You. 
That is both a source of comfort and challenge. We are comforted by 
Your love, forgiveness, and constant care. We are challenged by our 
accountability to You. To whom much is given, much will be required. 
You are the righteous Judge of our words and our decisions. Help us to 
seek Your will in all that we do. You have said, ``Let him who glories 
glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord 
exercising loving kindness, judgment and righteousness in the earth. 
For in these I delight.''--Jeremiah 9:24. We want to do what delights 
You. We repent of the pride of ever thinking we can lead this Nation 
without Your priorities of righteousness, purity, truth, and Your power 
to implement them. May intimate communion with You always be the source 
of integrity in our leadership. We commit ourselves to live this day to 
Your glory, totally dependent on the presence and power of our Lord. 
Amen.
