                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Eternal God, we pray for Your shalom, Your peace for our world, for 
our Nation, our communities, and our families.
  In You, we find all that we need to be whole and well. In You, we are 
grounded in truth, that we would show integrity and honesty. In You, we 
are given purpose, a vision of what it means to dwell in harmony.
  In Your peace, we have all that we need to live and thrive.
  So if we align ourselves to Your paradigm of peace, grant us then 
Your favor. If we humble ourselves, grant us success in our endeavors 
to do Your will. If we trust in You, give us a wealth of confidence in 
our abilities to carry out Your intent. If we follow Your guidance, 
prosper us with Your bounteous grace that we would experience the 
certainty of Your blessing.
  Then may our world, our Nation, our communities, and our families 
receive that blessing this day.
  In the peace of Your name we pray.
  Amen.
