                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Creator God, open our eyes to the gift that You have laid before us 
this day. Fill us early with an awareness of Your unfailing love, that 
throughout the day we would know the satisfaction of happiness found 
only in You and the content of joy that we have in Your love for us.
  At every moment of the day, bring us evidence of Your loving 
kindness. At every turn, cause us to know what way You would have us 
walk. At every encounter, give us the word You would have us speak.
  For we put our trust in You. When all else around us proves fleeting, 
be our constant.
  When disappointments erode our sense of certainty, may our faith in 
You be sure.
  When we weary from our labor, may we find strength in the foundation 
You have laid for our days.
  When we are inclined to doubt, may our reverence of You fill us with 
the joy of our salvation.
  In Your mercy may we receive today a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.
  Hear now our gratitude for the daily favor You have shown us as we 
offer our prayers in Your most holy name.
  Amen.
