                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, You have told us that to whom much is given, much shall 
be required. Today we thank You that You also have shown us that from 
whom much is required, much will be given. You never ask us to do more 
than You will provide the strength to accomplish. That's really good 
news, Father. Today is filled with problems to be solved and issues to 
be resolved. It is awesome to realize that You seek to do Your work 
through us. Help us to remember that this is Your Nation, and that we 
are here to serve You. Grant the Senators a special measure of Your 
wisdom for the challenges of this day. May they experience Your 
presence and receive Your guidance. Invade their minds with reignited 
conviction that they are chosen and called by You and fill their hearts 
with renewed courage to lead with vision and boldness. This is Your day 
Lord; show the way. Amen.
