                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, we begin this week with three liberating convictions: 
You are on our side, You are by our side, and You are the source of 
strength inside. Help us to regain the confidence from knowing that You 
are for us and not against us. You have created us to know and love You 
and have called us to serve this Nation. You have programmed us for 
greatness by Your power, so help us place our trust in You, and live 
fully for You. We thank You that You are with us seeking to help us to 
know and do Your will. Guide us in the complicated issues we consider 
today. We invite You to take up residence in our minds to give us 
strength to see things from Your perspective. Grant us courage to give 
dynamic moral leadership to our Nation. May Your justice, 
righteousness, integrity, honesty, and truth be the identifiable 
qualities of our leadership. We commit all that we have and are to 
glorify You with our work today. In the name of our Lord. Amen.
