                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, on this National Day of Prayer, our hearts overflow 
with gratitude for Your goodness to America. All that we have and are 
is a result of Your amazing generosity.
  Today, we rededicate ourselves to be one Nation under You. In You we 
trust. You have begun a spiritual awakening in our land and have taught 
us that repentance is to make a U-turn and return to You. We reaffirm 
our accountability to You, the absolutes of Your Commandments, and to 
do justice in our society. Awaken every American to receive Your love 
and to seek to do Your will.
  Since September 11, we have discovered again that You truly are our 
refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. In the battle 
against terrorism, we will never give up or give in because with Your 
help we will win.
  Bless our President, the Cabinet, Congress, and all State and local 
leaders with supernatural power. We commit ourselves to be faithful to 
You as Sovereign of our land and Lord of our lives. Amen.
