                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  O God our Father, we thank You for the blessings of life. Help us to 
see them, to count them, and to remember them so that our lives may 
flow in ceaseless praise. Give us eyes to see the invisible movement of 
Your Spirit in people and in events. Assure us that You are present, 
working out Your purposes because You have plans for us. Focus our 
attention on the amazing way You work through people--arranging 
details, solving complexities, and bringing good out of whatever 
difficulties we commit to You. Help us to be expectant for Your 
serendipities, Your unusual acts of love in usual circumstances. Now we 
look forward to a great day filled with Your grace! You are our Lord 
and Saviour. Amen.
