                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, as we conclude this week, we claim Your promise through 
Isaiah. ``Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ``This is the 
way, walk in it.''--Isaiah 30:21. We pray for that kind of clear and 
decisive guidance in the relationships and responsibilities ahead of 
us. Speak so that we may speak in an echo of both the tone and tenor of 
Your truth. We tune our minds to the frequency of Your spirit. Help us 
communicate Your caring and compassion as well as Your justice and 
righteousness. May our consistent communion with You radiate on our 
faces, be expressed in our character, and be exuded in positive joy. 
Fill this Chamber with Your spirit and bless the Senators with strength 
and courage to listen to You, learn from You, and lean on Your 
everlasting arms. Through our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
