                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Give ear, O Shepherd, You who have led Your people time and again 
through hardship and calamity. You who sit enthroned in the heavens, 
stir up Your might and come save Your people suffering at the hands of 
their enemies.
  Restore the people of Ukraine, O God of hosts. Let Your face shine 
upon them in the darkness of their despair that they may be saved from 
the onslaught of terror being inflicted upon them.
  Feed them no more with the bread of their tears. Nourish them no more 
with the scorn of their enemies. But extend Your hand of favor upon 
them that their lives would be preserved.
  Turn Your eyes on them and regard their faithfulness. Let Your hand 
rest upon those who remain devoted to You.
  Then may all experience the immeasurable strength of Your abiding 
presence and find hope.
  In the power of Your name we offer our prayers.
  Amen.
