                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Father, help us to accept our humanity. Life is a struggle when we 
pretend to have it all together. We end this week in honest confession 
of the times that we forgot You, went for hours, even days, without 
asking for Your help, and endured life's pressures as if we could be 
our own source of strength. In the quiet of this moment, we invite You 
to fill our depleted resources with Your spirit. We want to let You 
love us, forgive us, renew us, and grant us fresh strength. To this 
end, we admit our needs and accept Your power. You are our Lord and 
Saviour. Amen.
