                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:

  Gracious God, we want to live this entire day with a sure sense of 
Your presence. We desire to do every task for Your glory and speak 
every word knowing You are listening. Remind us that every thought, 
feeling, and attitude we have is open to Your scrutiny. We commit 
ourselves to work for You with excellence so that, when this day is 
done, we will have that sheer delight of knowing we did our best for 
You.
  Help us to use things and love people rather than using people and 
loving things. Grant us the ability to communicate esteem and 
affirmation to the people with whom we work all through this day. Help 
us to take time to express our gratitude for who people are, not just 
for what they do. Make us sensitive to those burdened with worries, 
problems, or heartaches and help us to make time to listen to them. May 
we take no one for granted. In the name of our blessed Lord. Amen.
