                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear God, our Father, we begin this new day, week, and this new month 
profoundly moved by Your amazing grace. You are the same yesterday, 
today, and forever; You do not change Your attitude toward us; Your 
love has no limits. We all need something infinitely greater than 
selfesteem. We need the security and the serenity that come only from 
You. We report in for the duties of this day, needing a fresh infusion 
of delight in being alive and being assigned crucial work to do. Holy 
Spirit, be the wind under our wings. Lift us to new heights of 
effectiveness. We claim this promise: ``But those who wait on the Lord 
shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like 
eagles.''--Isaiah 40:31. Lord, help us to soar in the jet stream of 
Your power. In the name of Him who is the way, the truth and the life. 
Amen.
