Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben
Teach us your way, O Lord, that on this day we may walk in your truth. You alone bear witness to what is real and right. Help us to listen to your voice amid the noise of all that is spoken around us. Focus the intentions of our hearts and the inclinations of our will on your truth. That in all that we do and say in this place, we would revere you.
Enable us to align our thoughts, our words, and our actions, that they would reflect both your truth and your love.
May we speak with integrity.
May we act with moral courage.
May we live faithfully.
Holy God, redeem and sustain us, that we may present ourselves to you as those whom you approve, without reason to be ashamed.
And when the day is done, by your grace and guidance, may we have spoken your truth, proven faithful to your word, and served as ambassadors of your matchless love in these troubled times.
In your merciful name, we pray. Amen.
