                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God, You have given us consciences so that the beliefs, values, 
and truths You have worked into the fiber of our character may be 
worked out in the specific challenges and decisions of this day. Help 
us to be true to You, ourselves, and our patriotism. Give us sterling, 
unflinching integrity in all matters. Speak to us through our 
consciences. We claim the promise of Proverbs 11:3, ``The integrity of 
the upright will guide them.'' Give us peace of soul when our thoughts 
and plans are right; conversely, disturb us when we drift from what is 
best.
  Thank You for this new day. Show us each step of the way. Guide us in 
all we do and say. You are the Potter, we are the clay. We want to do 
Your will without delay. Through our Lord and Savior. Amen.
