                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Sovereign of this Nation and Lord of our lives, our 
purpose is to glorify You by serving our Nation. We want to express an 
energetic earnestness about our work today. Help us to know what You 
want and then want what we know; to say what we mean, and mean what we 
say. Give us resoluteness and intentionality. Free us to listen to You 
so intently that we can speak with intrepidness. Keep us in the battle 
for truth rather than ego-skirmishes over secondary issues. Make us 
party to Your plans so we can give leadership to our parties and then 
help our parties to work together to accomplish Your purposes. Make us 
one in the earnestness of our patriotism.
  Thank You for calling this Senate family to be a caring community in 
which we share each other's joys and sorrows. Today, we ask for Your 
strength and comfort for Senator Charles Robb now at the time of the 
death of his father. Help us all to live today with an assurance that 
this life is but an inch on the limitless measurement of eternity. In 
the name of the Resurrection and the Life. Amen.
