Opening Prayer

Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben

Steadfast and loving God, lead us to walk today in faith, a faith that allows us to have confidence in what we cannot see but which You provide for us without fail.

May we trust in Your provision, finding the strength and courage to give ourselves and this day into Your care and keeping.

Cause this trust to lead to faith in You, and in faith may we experience the fullness of what You offer us: to walk in Your presence no matter where we find ourselves; to enjoy our relationship with You, a relationship that transcends all the inadequacies of our lives; to discover Your purpose even in the most uncertain of times.

Lord, we want to believe in You. Help our unbelief.

In Your eternal name we pray. Amen.

Thought of the Week


The frustrating thing is that those attacking religion claim that they are doing it in the name of tolerance, freedom, and open–mindedness.  Question:  Isn't the real truth that they are intolerant of religion?  They refuse to tolerate its importance in our lives. 

—Ronald Reagan
