                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  What do You have in store for us today, O Lord? If we are overly 
proud and self-promoting, will You humble us? If we are arrogant and 
false, will You put us in our place?
  Or will You show forgiveness to us?
  If we stand in Your awesome presence, in the splendor of Your 
majesty, will You accept our repentance from our idol worship, our love 
of things, our pursuit of self-gratification, our trust in our own 
human minds, and receive us once again, into Your loving embrace?
  What do You offer us today, O Lord? If we rely on You to make our 
decisions, will You give us clarity? If we look for You in the 
situations we face, the challenges laid before us, will You make 
Yourself known? If we trust in You, will You remind us again how 
trustworthy You are, how steadfast Your love?
  Holy God, we humble ourselves before You. We ask for Your mercy in 
our missteps and Your grace as we attempt, in faith, to follow You this 
day.
  We yield our souls and spirits to Your guidance that the day You lay 
out before us would glorify You.
  We offer this prayer in Your most holy name.
  Amen.
