                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We pray, O gracious God, that with all the tasks that need to be 
accomplished, we will see clearly the opportunities that have been 
given for healing and helping, for encouraging and being made whole. 
With the dilemmas and perplexities that demand attention and the great 
needs of the Nation, we pray for a serenity of spirit that leads in the 
way of service to others. Remind us, O loving God, to lift our eyes to 
sense not only the obstacles that necessarily press from every side, 
but also to see the blessings that You have so graciously given and for 
which we are eternally thankful. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
