  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We begin this day, O gracious God, with thankful hearts for the days 
that have passed, with anticipation for what tomorrow will bring, and 
with appreciation for the opportunities of today. With all the 
pressures of modern life and with all the needs that are yet undone, we 
know that You grant us the resources for the responsibilities of the 
day and You free our hearts and souls with grace and peace and love. 
Grant to us and every person, O God, these gifts and bless us along 
life's way. Amen.
