                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  O Lord, our God, we pause amidst the business and the busyness of 
this week and call on You. We are impatient to hear Your word. Hurry to 
our assistance.
  May our prayers be like incense before You.
  May the effort of our hands be as a sacrifice to You.
  Set a guard over our mouths, O Lord. Watch over the words that come 
from our lips. Do not let the thoughts that emerge into speech be 
shaped with evil intent.
  And do not allow our hearts to be inclined to compete in wrongdoing 
with those who wrong us.
  But may our eyes be ever on You, for in You do we find shelter. And 
to You we entrust our whole selves.
  We pray this in the strength of Your name.
  Amen.
