                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear Father, You replenish our diminished strength with a fresh flow 
of energy and resiliency. The tightly wound springs of tension within 
us are released and unwind until there is a profound peace inside. We 
relinquish our worries to You and our anxiety drains away. We take 
courage because You have taken hold of us. Now we know that courage is 
fear that has said its prayers. We spread out before You the challenges 
of the week ahead and see them in the proper perspective of Your power. 
We dedicate ourselves to do things Your way under Your sway. And now, 
we are filled with Your joy which is so much more than happiness. We 
press on to the work of this week with enthusiasm. It's great to be 
alive! In the Name of our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
