                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord our God. This day, as in all days, 
we are graced to see each new mercy You lay before us. In each fleeting 
moment You confront us with yet another opportunity to observe Your 
loving hand in our lives.
  Open our eyes that as we gaze upon Your creation, the changing of the 
seasons and the movement of the stars, the bounty of the harvest and 
the provisions of our health, that we would see Your steadfast love and 
compassion for the world and all who dwell therein.
  Then open our hearts that not only would they respond to the grand 
and glorious evidence of Your sovereignty, but that they would yield to 
the quiet and careful counsel You offer us for the living of our days.
  Because of Your great love for us, we are not consumed by the 
controversies we face, nor discouraged by the desolate future we fear. 
Your mercies are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness, Lord, 
to us each day.
  By Your powerful name we pray, and for Your purpose we give You our 
labor this day.
  Amen.
