                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  God of peace, we seek to receive Your peace and communicate it to 
others throughout this day. We confess anything that may be disturbing 
our inner peace. We know that if we want peace in our hearts, we cannot 
harbor resentment. We seek forgiveness for any negative criticism, 
gossip, or innuendo we may have spoken. Forgive the times that we have 
brought acrimony into our relationships instead of bringing peace into 
misunderstandings. You have shown us that being a reconciler is 
essential for a continued, sustained experience of Your peace. Most of 
all, we know that lasting peace comes from Your spirit, Your presence 
in our minds and hearts.
  Show us how to become communicators of the peace that passes 
understanding, bringing healing reconciliation, deeper understanding, 
and open communication. In the name of the Prince of Peace. Amen.
