                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear Father, we confess our total dependence on You, not only for 
every breath we breathe but also for every ingenious thought we think. 
You are the source of our strength, the author of our vision, and the 
instigator of our creativity.
  We begin this day with praise that You have chosen us to serve You. 
All our talents, education, and experience have been entrusted to us by 
You. Today, the needs before us will bring forth the expression of Your 
creative, divine intelligence from within us. Thank You in advance for 
Your provision of exactly what we will need to serve You. We trust You 
completely. This is Your day; You will show the way; we will respond to 
Your guidance without delay. Through our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
