                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Sovereign God, our help in all the ups and downs of life, all the 
triumphs and defeats of political life, and all the changes and 
challenges of leadership, You are our Lord in all seasons and for all 
reasons. We can come to You when life makes us glad or sad. There is no 
place or circumstance beyond Your control. Wherever we go You are there 
waiting for us. You already are at work with people before we encounter 
them, You prepare solutions for our complexities, and You are ready to 
help us to resolve conflicts even before we ask You. And so, we claim 
Your promise given through Jeremiah, ``Call on Me, and I will answer 
you, and show great and mighty things you do not know.''--Jeremiah 
33:3.
  God of win-win solutions, guide the Senators to discover Your answer 
for the present deadlock over the disaster relief bill. We thank You in 
advance for a divinely inspired resolution. In the name of our Lord and 
Saviour. Amen.
