Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben
God, be patient with us. In Your kindness, do not begrudge us our unfaithfulness. Show us instead how You do not boast that You alone know all the answers that we can't seem to grasp. In Your humility, show us what honor is.
Do not deal with us in anger, but wipe clean any record of wrongs that we ourselves have tallied.
Remind us that You take no delight in evil, but You rejoice when truth prevails.
Protect us. Trust us. Place Your hope in us. Persevere with us. Love us. For love never fails. And You, O God, are love.
In Your compassionate and eternal name, we pray. Amen.
