                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are aware, O gracious God, that Your Spirit can minister to us in 
the depths of our hearts, that Your amazing grace can give us comfort 
and peace that passes all human understanding. We pray this day for all 
those who desire a full measure of Your blessings that they will 
receive all the gifts of faith and hope and love. May the fellowship of 
Your Spirit so live in the minds and souls of those who call upon You, 
that Your will may be done on Earth as it is in heaven. In Your name we 
pray. Amen.
