                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Come Lord, quickly come and dispel our fear. Shine Your glory around 
us and break into our darkness.
  Take away the anxiety that binds us to our own doubts and prevents us 
from receiving the wholeness found in You.
  Pick us up from our missteps and misfortunes that we would walk 
confidently in the paths You would have us go.
  Come Lord, quickly come and speak Your Word that we may rejoice in 
Your presence and live in Your light.
  May we hear the words of salvation Your messengers have shared 
throughout eternity.
  Let us receive the testimonies of those who walk in faith that our 
own belief would be strengthened.
  Come Lord, quickly come be among Your people and reveal Your presence 
in our lives.
  Invite us to see and to trust in the miraculous work You are doing in 
and among us today and every day.
  Come Lord, quickly come.
  In the joy of Your name we pray.
  Amen.
