                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Our hearts are full of thanksgiving, O God, when we meditate on the 
glories of Your promises to us and to all people. With Your gifts we 
can raise our eyes to see beauty and joy, to see new opportunities for 
service and a new vision of hope and peace in our world.
  So we take this moment, gracious God, to offer our sincere prayers 
that we would be open to Your leading this day and grateful for all 
Your blessings. May Your peace that passes all human understanding be 
in our hearts now and evermore. Amen.
