                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, for tomorrow and its needs we do not pray, but keep us, 
guide us, strengthen us, just for today. Help us to live in day-tight 
compartments by being faithful and obedient to You in this new day You 
have given us. Yesterday is a memory and tomorrow is uncertain. But 
today, if we live it to the fullest, will become a memorable yesterday 
and tomorrow will be a vision of hope. A great life is an accumulation 
of days lived, one at a time, for Your glory and by Your grace. 
Anything is possible if we take it in day-sized bites. Help us make 
today a day to be that different person we've wanted to be, to start 
doing what we've procrastinated, and to enjoy the work we have to do. 
We want this to be a special day to love You, serve You, and be an 
encourager of others around us. One day to live, it will go so fast; 
Lord, make it a good memory, before it's past. In our Lord's name. 
Amen.
