                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  O Righteous One, we pause in stillness before You. We wait patiently 
for You as this new week begins. For we know You will give us the 
desires of our heart, speaking to us Your Word of truth.
  On our part, may we come to trust You. Then may our trust in You know 
no boundaries. May no uncertainty, no doubt, no fear, or anxiety serve 
as barriers for our trust in Your steadfast love for us.
  May our faith in You encourage us to walk closer to You, to follow 
where You lead us, and to go where You call us to go, sure of Your 
grace plan.
  Keep our eyes above the waves that threaten us. Keep our feet on the 
foundation You have laid beneath us. Keep our will away from the 
temptations that surround us, and keep our hearts within Your own 
loving embrace.
  Today, on this day, in all we say or do, may we trust in You, O Lord, 
and do what is good.
  Sure of Your omniscience and omnipotence, we are bold to pray.
  Amen.
