                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Give to the Lord the glory due His name, bring an offering, and come 
before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!--I 
Chronicles 16:29.
  Sovereign God, gracious Father, blessed Redeemer, inspiring Spirit, 
we worship You for Your faithfulness, loving kindness, justice, and 
mercy. The offering we bring to our worship of You is ourselves. 
Nothing in our hands we bring; simply to Your grace we cling. We 
worship You in awe and wonder, joy and gladness, delight and 
dependence. The blessing of belonging to You is the only beauty of 
holiness we have to offer. All that we have and are belongs to You. The 
Nation that You have called us to lead is Your Nation. Our greatness in 
the past is because of Your goodness; our triumph in the future is 
assured only as we trust in You.
  May all of life express our worship of You. We seek to express our 
worship of You in our work, our relationships, our responsibilities. We 
commit ourselves to practice Your presence in the sublime and in the 
simple, with people of great and of no reputation, in duties that bring 
us recognition and those only You can see. To God be the glory. Amen.
