                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Sovereign of our Nation and Lord of our lives, we don't 
know all that this day holds, but we know that You hold the day in Your 
competent hands.
  We press on with courage and confidence. Here are our minds, think 
Your thoughts through them; here are our imaginations, show us Your 
purpose and plan; here are our wills, guide us to do Your will. What 
You give us the vision to conceive and the daring to believe, You will 
give us the power to achieve. Go before us to show us Your way, behind 
us to press us forward toward Your goals, beside us to give us Your 
resiliency, above us to watch over us, and within us to give us Your 
supernatural gifts of great leadership--wisdom, discernment, knowledge, 
and vision. Through our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
