                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, Lord of our lives and Sovereign of this Nation, we 
thank You for the change that takes place in our attitudes when we 
remember that our calling is to glorify You in our work and to work 
with excellence to please You. The Senators are responsible to their 
constituencies, those who work with them here report to them, and 
others are part of the Senate support team. We all are employed to 
serve the Government, but we ultimately are responsible to You for the 
work we do and how we do it. Help us to realize how privileged we are 
to be able to work, earn a wage, and provide for our need. Thank You 
for the dignity of work.
  So we press on today with enthusiasm remembering that You have called 
us to our work and will give us a special Saturday measure of strength. 
Especially we ask for Your light in the heat of the discussion on the 
subject of abortion. We need to listen to one another and receive Your 
guidance. Whatever we do, in word or deed, we do it to praise You. 
Amen.
