                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear God, our Creator, Sustainer and Strength, You have given us the 
gift of life, blessed us with this new week, and given us work to do 
for Your glory. We admit our need for Your insight and inspiration. You 
never intended for us to depend solely on our own intellect and 
understanding. We humbly place our total dependence on Your power to 
maximize the use of the talents You have entrusted to us. Guide us, 
Lord. We accept Your absolute reign and rule in our minds.
  Thank You for the peace of mind we have when we submit our needs to 
You. Source of our courage, we unreservedly commit to You our lives and 
the decisions to be made this week. We relinquish our control and 
intentionally ask You to take charge. Think and speak through us. 
Through our Lord and Savior. Amen.
