                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  O God, on this day of prayer, we ask: Who will find their way home to 
You?
  If we listen, O God, You tell us: The ones who seek to do right, the 
ones who speak heart-felt truth, the ones whose tongues know not 
slander, the ones who inflict no evil upon friends, will find their way 
home to You.
  O God, on this day of prayer, we wonder: Who will be lifted up to 
Your holy heavens?
  If we listen, O God, You tell us: The ones who walk with integrity, 
the ones who love their neighbor, the ones who hold fast to their word, 
the ones who embrace the innocent, will be lifted up on high.
  O God, on this day of prayer: we hope: That those who serve in the 
Senate, that those who live in our land, that those who are our 
friends, and those who are our enemies, will seek to live within Your 
will.
  For we know, O God, that those who live as You desire, shall abide in 
Your presence. They shall not be moved, not now, not ever. Amen.
