                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:

     Knowledge we ask not
     Knowledge Thou hast lent
     But Lord, the will
     There lies our bitter need
     Give us to build above the deep intent
     The deed; the deed!--Drinkwater.

  Dear God, help us to put into action what we believe. You have made 
faith and works inseparable. Application of our convictions is our 
challenge. Help us to apply the absolutes of our faith. We believe in 
You as Sovereign of this Nation; strengthen our wills to seek and do 
Your will. Out motto is ``In God we trust''; help us really to trust 
You in the specific decisions we must make today. Particularly, we ask 
for Your guidance in our decision about the extent of our involvement 
in Bosnia. We believe You have called us here to serve; help us to be 
servant-leaders distinguished for diligence. We affirm Your presence, 
we accept Your love, we rejoice in Your goodness, we receive Your 
guidance, and we praise Your holy name. Amen.
