The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the following prayer: God of our lives, the source of our strength, we commit our work to You. May the sweat of our brows and the calluses on our hands, the hours spent and the sacrifices made, prove our commitment to the tasks You have set before us. All that we strive for, all that we hope to accomplish, we surrender to Your will and entrust to Your keeping. Then may Your blessing be upon our efforts, that by Your grace they would be in concert with Your enduring plan for Your people. Open our eyes to see what success looks like: the welfare of the people we have been called to serve, the soundness of the communities and the country in which we live, and the flourishing of the families we love. With renewed dedication to our labor and rekindled love for You, we offer ourselves and our prayers to You in the power of Your sovereign name. Amen.
