                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Receive our prayers this day, O Lord. Receive them and supply us in 
our need. For our prayers reflect the disquiet of our lives, the need 
for answers, the need for encouragement, the need for relief from 
conflict and worry.
  Remind us that what we want can only be found in You. You are the 
source of all knowledge, the source of our strength, the source of 
lasting peace.
  By Your divine power You have given us everything we need to live, 
and all You ask of us is to live a Godly life, a life where we refrain 
from the vain expectation that our needs can be satisfied by anything 
or anyone but You.
  Give us the will to accept that our contentment is found only in You. 
Give us the understanding that Godliness, an attitude attuned to Your 
divine power and provision, gains us all we desire.
  So may we direct our restless hearts to live a righteous life, that 
we would live contented in the bounty of Your righteousness.
  In Your strong and sufficient name we pray.
  Amen.
