                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Spirit of the living God, we confess the banked fires of faith in the 
hearths of our hearts. White ash often covers the burned-down embers. 
The danger of burnout is always present when we become so busy that 
there is little time to be refueled by Your love and power, Your wisdom 
and strength. You never meant for us to make it on our own. Our 
responsibilities are too great to face without a constant replenishment 
of Your inspiration. Bellow the flickering embers of our hearts until 
they are white hot again with the fire of patriotism, vision and hope, 
conviction and courage. Holy Spirit, we need You. Thank You for setting 
us ablaze with Your fire. Amen.
