                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Eternal God, bless us with Your abundance this day. All that we seek 
may we receive. Then may we see that You alone have provided for us.
  We dedicate the work of our hands and our minds to Your purpose. 
Allow us all that we need, for in You we have the plenitude of Your 
abundant grace.
  When we are uncertain that we have enough time, energy, or 
information to carry out our responsibilities to our country, our 
communities, or our families, remind us that You are able to bless us 
beyond our limited human vision, and provide for us when we fall short.
  Remind us also that more than just the work that we do or the daily 
lives that we lead, You offer to us the wealth of spiritual prosperity 
available in You. May we draw from Your spirit the resources we need to 
face the profound challenges and meet the profane contests that seek to 
undermine our integrity and rob us of hope.
  In all things, O God, may we call upon You and the mercy You desire 
to lavish upon us. In this may we find life and have it more 
abundantly.
  In Your generous name we pray.
  Amen.
