                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  God, our rock and our salvation, our prayers are, once again, offered 
unto You on behalf of Ukraine. Many are its foes. The fearful within 
its borders yearn for the strength of Your justice. The adversaries who 
surround them are saying that You will not deliver them.
  But You, O Lord, have proven to be a shield around them. You are the 
source of their strength, the one who lifts their heads to face their 
enemies.
  In these seemingly never-ending days and months of conflict, in their 
waking and their sleeping, Lord, sustain the men and women of Ukraine. 
May they not give in to fear though they are continually assailed on 
every front. May their faith in You uphold them.
  Arise, O Lord, and deliver the people of Ukraine. From You alone 
comes deliverance. May Your blessing be upon Your people.
  In Your mighty name we pray.
  Amen.
