                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Sovereign God, as we stand on the eve of the third anniversary of the 
unprovoked attack on Ukraine, we realize that only our faith in You and 
in Your provisions will lay the foundation for the future of the 
Ukrainian people. Those who trust in You cannot be shaken. Your 
faithfulness will endure forever and through all hardship.
  Now and forever, surrender Your people so that the advance of the 
wicked will not overtake the entitlements of the righteous. Prevent the 
righteous from being swayed to use their might to do evil in return.
  Lord, do good to those who do good. Grant Your favor to those who are 
upright in heart. Preserve those who have leaned on You for their 
survival and praised You for Your presence in their lives.
  May all who have endured these years of violence and deprivation soon 
receive Your peace and provision.
  In the power of Your name, we pray.
  Amen.
