                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer.
  Gracious God, thank You for this moment of prayer in which we can 
affirm Your call to seek unity in the midst of differences in parties 
and politics. So often we focus on what separates us rather than the 
bond of unity that binds us together. We are one in our calling to 
serve You and our Nation and in the belief that You are the ultimate 
and only Sovereign. You are the magnetic and majestic Lord of all who 
draws us out of pride and self-serving attitudes to work together for 
You. We find each other as we join our hearts in gratitude for the 
privilege of leading our Nation. Keep us so close to You and so open to 
one another that we will have a week of great progress. Help us to work 
expeditiously and with excellence for Your glory and our Nation's good. 
Through our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
