                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are grateful, O God, that You have given to us the goals of 
justice and the designs of freedom. Remind us this day, gracious God, 
that it is our work to develop the strategies and the plans of 
achieving those goals being aware of the prodding of Your spirit. We 
know that You have given to each of us the abilities to do good works 
so we pray that we will be faithful in our tasks, responsible in our 
actions, and fervent in our desire to serve. We pray this together with 
the petitions of our own hearts. Amen.
