                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Father, thank You for the gifts of life, intellect, good 
memories, and daring dreams. We do not ask for challenges equal to our 
talent and training, education and experience; rather, we ask for 
opportunities equal to Your power and vision. Forgive us when we pare 
life down to what we could do on our own without Your power. Make us 
adventuresome, undaunted people who seek to know what You want done and 
attempt it because You will provide us with exactly what we need to 
accomplish it. We thank You that problems are nothing more than 
possibilities wrapped in negative attitudes. We commit the work of this 
day to You and will attempt great things for You because we know we 
will receive great strength from You. You are our Lord and Saviour. 
Amen.
