                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Gracious God, You have been faithful to help us when we have asked 
for Your guidance and strength. May we be as quick to praise You for 
what You have done for us in the past, as we are to ask You to bless us 
in the future. We have come to You in crises, and difficulties; You 
have been on time and in time in Your interventions. Thank You Lord for 
Your providential care of this Senate as it has dealt with an immense 
load of work.
  Now, as a much-needed recess is taken, we thank You for all the 
people who make it possible for the Senate to function effectively. 
Especially we thank You for the Senators' staffs and all those here in 
the Senate chambers who work cheerfully and diligently for long hours 
to keep the legislative process moving smoothly. Help us to take no one 
for granted and express our gratitude to each one.
  Lord, when this day's work is done, give us refreshment of mind, 
spirit, and body. Watch over us as we are absent from each other and 
bring us back in September with renewed dedication to You and this 
great Nation we serve. Amen.
