Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben
Abide with us most Holy God. Allow your Holy Spirit to descend among us and move around us that we would know of your presence and power in the living of these days.
May your calm accompany us in every encounter. Your serenity still the tumultuous of our busyness. May your nearness impress upon us of each moment of every day.
Throughout this day, train our ears to listen for your voice and heed your words of guidance.
Sensitize our souls to the leading of your Spirit as we attend to the stewardship of your grace.
Discipline our wills to yield with humility to the way you would have us serve this nation and her needs.
For you are our Father and we your children. We are the clay and you the potter who fashions our lives and shapes our days. We are all the work of your hand. We pray that our efforts would reveal your divine design.
In us, O Lord, may you be glorified. Amen.
Isaiah 64:8
