                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  God our guide, we pray You would come alongside us on this day. To 
have the privilege to be in Your presence would give our lives a sense 
of fulfillment, our efforts purpose, and our direction, certainty.
  As we travel together, be our eyes that we would see the magnificence 
of Your design; our ears, that we would hear the symphony You have 
composed; that in what we touch, we feel Your embrace; and that we 
would taste the sustenance that You have provided for our journey.
  With You beside us, may we have the faith to give over to Your 
keeping all of our desires, plans, and thoughts, that we would yield 
our whole selves to You, trusting in Your direction.
  Wherever You lead us, today and in the days to come, may we readily 
follow. And when we cannot know what lies ahead, increase our faith. 
May we have confidence that You have prepared for us all that we could 
ever hope for. In You is the assurance that the way will be made clear.
  We pray in the abiding love of Your holy name.
  Amen.
