                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Gracious God, open our eyes this day to the things that are true. 
Inspire our actions that they be noble. Reveal to us at every turn what 
is right. May our motives be ever pure.
  Then may as we live our lives here in this place, may they reflect 
what is lovely. May our example to each other and to this country be 
admirable.
  And should the outcome of our work today succeed in being excellent 
or praiseworthy, may we think not on these accomplishments for our own 
attribution. But may we each take our thoughts captive, that we would 
instead choose to think with Your mind and reflect on our efforts as 
participation in Your creative work. May we focus our eyes on what You 
see and order our days as You would have us do.
  To You be all glory and in Your truth and righteousness do we offer 
our prayers this day.
  Amen.
