                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  When our spirits are strong, O God, You invite us to do good works of 
service to others and when our spirits are low, You forgive us and make 
us whole. In all the moments of life, we are inspired to the works of 
righteousness and justice by becoming Your hands and feet in our world 
and so being reliable stewards of Your many mercies. Strengthen us this 
day, O God, and make us whole so we will serve You and our neighbor in 
all we do. In Your name we pray. Amen.
