                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Five hundred and six years ago, after 34 days at sea, Christopher 
Columbus sighted land. The sailors on his three ships were near 
committing a mutiny. In Europe, kings and courtiers scoffed and wise 
men called him a fool. In spite of the ridicule and the impossible 
odds, Columbus said, ``It was the Lord who put it into my mind; I could 
feel His hand upon me. All who heard of my project rejected it with 
laughter, ridiculing me. My hope is in the One who created and sustains 
me. He is an ever-present help in trouble. When I was extremely 
depressed, He raised me up with His right hand, saying, `O man of 
little faith, get up, it is I; do not be afraid.' ''
  Let us pray.

                                                   N O T I C E

  Almighty God, Sovereign of history, we praise You for the courage 
that You gave to Christopher Columbus over five centuries ago. Grant us 
an explorer's heart, intent on discovering and doing Your will. 
Overcome our fears; give us hope and vision. May we press on in spite 
of the cautious voices that would distract us from our calling to 
follow Your voice. As Columbus followed Your vision, help us to be 
faithful and obedient to Your vision for our Nation. Through our Lord 
and Savior. Amen.
