                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Breathe on us, breath of God. Fill us with life anew. It is by You 
whom we have been created and for You whom we live. And even as we 
enjoy this gift of life that You have given us, may we realize that You 
have entrusted us with its living and You hold each of us accountable 
to Your intent.
  Breathe on us, breath of God, until our hearts are pure. Reveal to us 
Your desires as we come to understand Your will. Would that we dedicate 
our efforts, not to please ourselves, but to be faithful to Your 
gracious plan for all Your creation.
  Breathe on us, breath of God, that we shall never fail. And when we 
are called to account for our days, when our decisions are questioned, 
our motives tested, may we prove worthy of the moments You have 
provided us and the lives You have so graciously given us.
  In You, O Lord, do we live and move and have our being.
  By the power of Your name we pray.
  Amen.
