                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  With all the tasks before us and the competing voices that demand 
attention, may we hear Your still, small voice, O God, that calls us to 
lift our eyes to see Your vision and to hold fast to our faith to see 
each day through. We pray, O loving God, that Your grace will be 
sufficient for all our needs and Your promises will lead us in the way 
of truth and righteousness. Guide us in the day and protect us all the 
night through so that we will be good stewards of Your gifts to us. In 
Your name, we pray. Amen.
