                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Almighty God, our lives are in Your hands. In You do we find wisdom 
and strength. From You are we provided counsel and understanding.
  Therefore, we will not fear, though the Earth should change, though 
the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and 
foam, though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea.
  God, be in the midst of us, in this Chamber, in this city, in this 
country, and in this world. In the dawning of this morning, God help us 
all. The nations are in an uproar, but at the sound of Your voice 
kingdoms totter. When you speak, the Earth melts.
  Speak into the cacophony of chaos and topple all pride and arrogance. 
Utter Your words of wisdom and melt the folly of fearmongering. Silence 
all voices but Your own. Then let us be still and know that You alone 
are God.
  In the strength of Your name we offer our prayers this day.
  Amen.
