                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  God, You are the giver of every perfect gift. On this day, we give 
You thanks for all that You have given us--our lives, our work, our 
families, our friends, and so much more. All of these we count as joy, 
for they reveal to us in countless ways Your love and care for us. How 
do we give back to You, O Lord, for all Your goodness?
  Mindful of Your steadfast and loving kindness, may we trust in Your 
provision when things don't go our way, when money gets tight, and 
numbers don't add up.
  Sure of the strength You supply, may we set before You our deepest 
needs, our overwhelming doubts, and our uncertainty for the way ahead. 
Remind us that we can do all things because You are the source of our 
power.
  In all circumstances, O Lord, whether we live in plenty or in want, 
may we know that the secret of our happiness, the reason to be content 
in all situations, is that You alone are our hope and our salvation.
  We pray these things in the strength of Your name.
  Amen.
