Prayer by Chaplain Washington:
Heavenly Father,
Your Word says in John 12:24 that unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground
and dies its potential is untapped and it remains only a seed, but if it dies it produces
greatly.
As we move into this Easter season, we have thoughts of Jesus' death and resur-
rection. We thank you for His example illustrated by that grain of wheat.
Father, as these men and women have given of themselves . . . as they have
made, and continue to make many sacrifices; during this resurrection season, remind
them of Jesus and that grain of wheat. Please cultivate and give new life for their
efforts. Help them to see bountiful rewards from their labors.
I come to You in the Name of the Christ. Amen and Amen.
