                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Compassionate God, as we approach You at the end of our workweek, 
tried and tested by the many concerns that have crossed our paths, we 
lay our burdens before You, that You would make good of them in Your 
perfect plan.
  We cast on You all our anxiety over what we have done, what we have 
left undone, and what remains to be done, because in the midst of all 
that we struggle with and tend to each day, we dare to believe You care 
for us.
  By Your steadfast love then, give us reason to hope that You will 
sustain us. By Your righteousness, give us certainty that all we have 
done in faith will serve to contribute to Your will for this place and 
for our Nation. By Your abiding presence, relieve our worry for 
tomorrow, for all our days are in Your hand.
  Upheld by Your everlasting arms, and in the strength of Your name, we 
pray.
  Amen.
