Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben
Father of lights, shine Your light in our lives this day. You who are pure, reveal to us Your righteousness. In You there is no darkness at all. Lead us into Your truth.
Remind us again that even if we find ourselves standing in the shadow of deceit, of meanness, and even despair, if we remain in fellowship with You, attuning our hearts to Your truth and living our lives as a reflection of Your grace and mercy, we will find hope in the light of Your abiding presence.
Cleanse us from all unrighteousness, our own guile, unkindness, and pessimism. Remove from us the overwhelming cloud of doubt that threatens to overtake our spirits.
With the light of Your truth before us, illuminate our paths that we may live in perfect fellowship with You and with one another.
Blameless may we come before You, offering our prayers in Your eternal and perfect name. Amen.
