                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Holy and eternal God, praise be to Your name forever and ever. All 
wisdom and power are Yours. When measured against Your authority and 
dominion over the whole of creation, any advantage we boast, any 
victory we claim, fall short.
  Humble us that we would acknowledge that all we have is Yours and any 
influence we wield is held accountable to Your design.
  Immutable Lord, You change times and seasons, depose rulers, and 
raise up those who would replace them. Shape our sense of success into 
an awareness of and a commitment to our responsibility to live into 
Your grace plan.
  Transform any sense of failure into the certainty of Your steadfast 
love and abiding faith in us. We are each held in the palm of Your 
guiding hand.
  Grant wisdom to those who seek to become wise in serving You; and 
give knowledge to those who would discern Your will for their lives.
  In the strength of Your eternal name we pray.
  Amen.
