                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God almighty. Heaven and Earth are filled with 
Your glory. Praise and honor be to You, Lord most high. Lord of all 
creation, re-create our hearts to love You above all. Ruler of the 
universe, reign over us. Lord of our Nation, we invite You to live in 
us as our personal Lord. Sovereign of history, guide the vital page in 
history that will be written today. As we begin this new day, we 
declare our dependence and interdependence. We confess with humility 
that we are totally dependent on You, dear God. We could not breathe a 
breath, think a thought, or exercise dynamic leadership without Your 
constant and consistent blessing. We praise You for the gifts of 
intellect, education, and experience. All You have done in us has been 
in preparation for what You want to do through us now. We are here by 
Your divine appointment.
  And we know we could not achieve the excellence You desire without 
the tireless efforts of others. We thank You for our families and 
friends, the faithful and loyal staffs that make it possible for the 
Senators to function so effectively, and for all who make the work of 
this Senate run smoothly. Help us express our gratitude by singing our 
appreciation for the unsung heroes and heroines who do ordinary tasks 
with extraordinary diligence. We praise You for the gift of life and 
those who make work a joy. In the name of Him who taught us the 
greatness of being servant leaders. Amen.
