                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  God, You are rich in mercy, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast 
love. Would that we, as debtors to Your immeasurable grace, do 
likewise. With a great love You have loved us. Would that our hearts, 
as slaves to Your righteousness, be transformed by the immense blessing 
of Your favor.
  Walking in Your spirit, we pray that You would teach us how to be 
merciful to those who wrong us. Diffuse our tempers that we would be 
slow to anger. Inspire us with a passion for Your amazing grace plan, 
that we would be agents of Your steadfast love--in this place, among 
this body--that our lives would reveal Your kindness, a mercy You 
desire all to receive.
  In the name of the one who is love, we pray.
  Amen.
