                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Lord, You are the author of our lives, the perfecter of our faith. In 
You, we see what we are called to do and what You want us to be. For 
You have shown us love when we have been anything but lovable and mercy 
though we are not worthy. You have demonstrated compassion in our 
darkest moments and steadfastness when all around us falls apart.
  To Your image may we be faithful.
  Cause us to follow Your lead as You raise us up as leaders of our 
community and of this Nation. In everything we do or say, may we live 
up to the example You have called us to be by upholding what is good in 
Your eyes.
  In our conduct in this place, in our love for one another, and in our 
faith in the face of adversity, and in our purity of thought and 
purpose, may we serve as bearers of the truth found only in You.
  In the name of the one who is truth, we pray.
  Amen.
