                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, You give us what we need and not always what we want. 
You have programmed us for greatness. You will not flatter those who 
want flattery, but seek to show us that lasting joy is being servant 
leaders. Lead us out of the quagmire of self-aggrandizement and show us 
the path of self-sacrifice. Free us of demanding love on our terms and 
help us to do what love demands. May our quest for recognition be 
replaced by a quiet recognition that You are pleased. Help us to play 
our lives to an audience of One: You, dear Lord.
  May the demands of public service become a delight and not a duty. 
Help us not to miss the joy that today holds, waiting to be unwrapped. 
Amen.
