                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Ever-loving God, we thank You for the quiet rest of the night, for 
the promise that has come with this new day, and for the hope that we 
feel. While we slept, we rested under the shadow of Your love. Now, as 
sleep has been washed from the eyes of our minds, implant them with 
trifocal lenses so that we may be able to behold Your signature in the 
natural world around us, see the needs of people so we can care for 
them with sensitivity, and visualize the work that we must do. With 
minds alert and hearts at full attention, we salute You as our 
Sovereign. Thank You for meeting all the needs of our bodies, souls, 
and spirits so that we can serve You with renewed dedication. As You 
hover around us as we pray, grant us wisdom throughout the day. In the 
name of Him who is Your amazing grace. Amen.
