                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Lord, You have loved, forgiven, and cared for us. In Your 
holy presence, any self-sufficiency fades like a candlelight before the 
rising sun. Awaken us again to the wonder of Your unqualified grace. 
May the radiance of Your Spirit invade our hearts, vanishing all the 
gloom and darkness of worry and fear and anxiety.
  Father, set us free to do our work today with joy and gladness. The 
people in our lives desperately need Your love. Liberate us with the 
sure knowledge of Your unfailing love so that we will be able to be 
free to love unselfishly. Speak to us now so that we may be energized 
with new life and new power. We claim this in the assurance of Your 
love divine, all loves excelling! Through our Lord and Savior. Amen.
