                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Light of the world, shine Your love on us this day. Break forth into 
the darkness of our world with Your truth and illuminate the paths You 
would have us take as we move through this day.
  Make visible to us Your abiding presence, that in the certainty of 
Your company we would be more willing to go forth, step up, and speak 
Your life-giving word into the uncertainty of these times.
  Reveal to us Your redeeming will, that we would receive the 
righteousness You offer us. May our personal holiness be grounded in 
humility and motivated by our desire to serve You.
  Thus, may Your light shine unobscured through our renewed commitment 
to this world, our country, and Your people. May we have the eyes to 
see those who are in need, and may our lives reflect the warmth of Your 
light on those who hide in despair.
  This day, may our words, our deeds, and our relationships one with 
another, be a witness to Your light and Your love.
  In the gift of Your revealed name we pray.
  Amen.
