                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  God of grace and God of glory, put a new song in our hearts this day. 
May our mouths sing praise to You, our God.
  Many are the wonders You have done. We need only look around us and 
bear witness to Your remarkable creation. Gracious are Your plans for 
us. Your love is revealed daily in the opportunities You lay before us 
and the friends and family with whom You have surrounded us.
  We look upon Your majesty and tremble when we realize how 
insufficient our efforts are before You. May our trust in You serve to 
bridge the distance that stands between Your intent and our best laid 
plans.
  Blessed are those who trust in You. Better off are they who rely on 
You and not on their own pride, who yield to Your truth and do not turn 
to follow false gods.
  O Lord, You are our help and our deliverer. May all who seek You 
discover the gladness to be found in You. May those who long for Your 
saving help soon find reason to proclaim Your greatness.
  We offer our songs of praise and the prayers of our hearts by the 
power of Your name.
  Amen.
