                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, whose mercies are new every morning and whose presence 
sustains us through the day, we seek to glorify You in all we do and 
say. You provide us strength for the day, guidance in our decisions, 
vision for the way, courage in adversity, help from above, unfailing 
empathy, and unlimited love. You never leave us or forsake us; nor do 
You ask of us more than You will provide the resources to accomplish. 
Here are our minds, think Your thoughts in them; here are our hearts, 
express Your love and encouragement through them; here are our voices, 
speak Your truth through them.
  We dedicate this day to discern and do Your will. We trust in You, 
dear God, and ask You to continue to bless America through the 
leadership of the women and men of this Senate. Help them as they 
grapple with the problems and grasp Your potential for the crucial 
issues before them today. Amen.
