                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  O Lord our God, You are our strength and our song. By Your mighty 
hand, You have brought us to this moment in time that our lives would 
sing Your praises.
  As we begin the day, cause us to reflect on the countless times You 
have upheld us through chaos and calamity, those moments when we had 
nothing left in our own reserves but could only draw on Your strength 
to see us through. Then may those reminders of Your abiding presence 
remain with us during the events and challenges in store for us today. 
Would that we look to You and the encouragement, motivation, and 
inspiration You provide for us in both the obvious and the more subtle 
gifts of grace You offer.
  May we see Your face in all things and thus be empowered to meet You 
in all the things we face.
  We can do all things through the one who strengthens us. May this 
serve as our refrain this day.
  In the power of Your name, we pray to serve You faithfully.
  Amen.
