                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Many are the plans in our hearts today, O Lord, numerous agendas and 
schedules, lists of expectations, and countless intentions. We lay all 
of our efforts before You that Your purpose would prevail; that Your 
direction and design, Your will and aim would guide our lives.
  It seems that our days are driven by overwhelming demands on our 
time, goals to accomplish, and deadlines to meet. We commit to You, 
Holy God, all that we hope to do today, that You, in Your mercy, would 
allow our plans to prosper.
  The way seems clear in our minds; Lord, would that You establish our 
steps this day. May we receive the gift of Your counsel and the 
excellence of Your wisdom.
  We pray this prayer in the certainty of Your holy name.
  Amen.
