                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, into Your hands we commend this day, a great American 
statesman, George Shultz. His patriotism and unwavering principles 
serve as an example of a life lived in response to Your calling. Remind 
us that this is a calling to which You call each one of us to filter 
out the noise and bias, to defuse the competing voices of acrimony and 
indifference, and to march to the pulse within our souls that beats out 
the steps of the path You lay before us.

  The online version has been corrected to read: Eternal God, into 
Your hands we commend this day, a great American statesman, George 
Shultz.


 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 


  Trust is the coin of the realm, Your realm, Your kingdom here on 
Earth. And to prosper here requires that we trust in You; that we trust 
in the moral high ground that You have called us to defend; to trust in 
the men and women whom You have set beside us and across from us.
  May we realize that when this kind of trust, a trust established in 
our relationship with You and inspired by Your own trustworthiness, 
when this trust is in the room, good things happen, and everything else 
is just details.
  This day, in You, God, we trust, and we commend the details to Your 
care.
  We pray in the strength of Your holy name.
