                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Eternal God, our time is in Your hands. Every precious minute we 
share with friends, family, loved ones, and colleagues is a reminder of 
the many gifts we are given to cherish.
  Hour by hour, as we clock the passing of time with our meetings and 
appointments, remind us that we are called to set our schedules wisely 
and to exercise the skills and abilities as You have graced us, all for 
the betterment of our communities, the health and welfare of our 
Nation, and peace in the world.
  When each dawn breaks, may we greet it, rejoicing in the day You have 
made. And at the setting of the Sun, may we pause to give You thanks 
that You have guided our steps and directed us on the paths You would 
have us go.
  Allow us, then, to see Your presence in the minutes, hours, and days 
we are given. In each moment that You lavish upon us, may our spirits 
be renewed, our purpose made clear, and our lives proclaim the grace 
You have shown us.
  We offer our prayers in Your everlasting and timeless name.
  Amen.
