                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  As we come together for prayer this day, gracious God, we ask Your 
blessing upon us and upon all people. We know not the petitions of each 
person, and we know not all the needs. Some seek healing and some seek 
a new direction; some seek renewal and a great vision; and some seek 
peace for a troubled soul. Whatever the need, O God, and whatever the 
circumstance, You have promised to be with us and bless us. For all 
Your blessings in our lives, we offer this prayer of thanksgiving and 
praise. Amen.
