                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  We pray with the Psalmist, ``Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your 
paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my 
salvation; on You I wait all the day.''--Psalm 25:4-5.
  Almighty God, we praise You for Your guidance. As we begin the work 
of this Senate today, we acknowledge again our total dependence on You. 
Revelation of Your truth comes in relationship with You; Your 
inspiration is given when we are illuminated with Your spirit. 
Therefore, we prepare for the decisive decisions of this day by opening 
our minds to the inflow of Your spirit. You know what is ahead today. 
Crucial issues confront us. Votes will be cast and aspects of the 
future of our Nation will be shaped by what is decided.
  We praise You Lord, that when this day comes to an end we will have 
the deep inner peace of knowing that You heard and answered this prayer 
for guidance.
  As a caring community we reach out to Senator William Cohen and ask 
that You give him Your comfort and strength now at the time of the 
death of his father, Rubin Cohen. Grant him Your peace. In the name of 
our Lord. Amen.
