                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear God, our hearts are often restless; we long to rest in You. We 
feel an inner emptiness only You can fill, a hunger only You can 
satisfy, a thirst only You can quench. All our needs are small in 
comparison to our deepest need for You. No human love can fulfill our 
yearning for Your grace. No position can satisfy our quest for 
significance. No achievement can substitute for Your acceptance. Our 
relationship with You is ultimately all that counts. There is no joy 
greater than knowing You, no peace more lasting than Your shalom in our 
souls, no power more energizing than Your enabling Spirit empowering 
us. This is the day You have made for us to enjoy and to serve You. 
Grant us the greatness of seeking Your best for our Nation and working 
together as patriots. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
