Reverend Andrew Walton
Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church

Date of Prayer: 03/18/2013
Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
We come today with thanks and gratitude for the eternal presence of God, known by many names, that is within, around, and throughout all creation.
May each person in the human family be reminded today in every breath we take of the Spirit that binds and connects us to one another. With every morsel or drop of nourishment taken into our bodies may we remember our interdependence with the soil, streams, seas, plants, and animals of Earth. As we gaze to the sky above may we allow the mysterious vastness of the unknown to stir our imaginations toward creative care of that which is known.
As citizens not only of Nations but also of the Earth itself, may we live this day and every day in harmony with all. And may this Spirit of harmony be that which guides the ideas, conversations, debates, and decisions of our Nation's leaders today and always.
Amen.
