                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear God, our Father, the true Source of stability in stress, we 
claim Isaiah's promise, that Your wisdom and knowledge will be the 
stability of our times.--Isaiah 33:6. Your faithfulness is our 
foundation as we begin this new day; You will guide and strengthen us 
each step of the way. Quiet our turbulent, anxious hearts so we can 
hear the guidance You want to impart. Fill us with profound inner peace 
so we may be still until we are sure of Your will.
  Give us tough faith for troubled times that is rooted in confidence 
that You will help us untangle knotty problems, change difficult 
situations, and deal with troublesome pressures. We admit our need for 
You; we submit to direction from You; and we commit our lives to serve 
You. In the Name of our Lord and Savior. Amen.
