                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, in this time of quiet we rest in You; we lean on Your 
stability; and we draw on Your strength. We feel our tensions and 
anxieties melt away as we simply abide in Your presence. Your love 
dispels our fears, and the vision of what You are able to do in and 
through us today maximizes our hopes. When we abide in You, we are able 
to abound in the unsearchable riches of Your limitless power. Go before 
us to show the way and help us anticipate the amazing gifts of love, 
wisdom, discernment, and vision You have prepared for us. You know 
exactly what we will face today and will equip us to live at our full 
potential, multiplied by Your energizing power. You do all things well. 
Thank You for guiding us with Your perfectly prepared answers to the 
problems and potentials of this day. Through our Lord and Savior. Amen.
