                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Lord, as we begin this new week, we claim that You are in our midst. 
Fill this Senate Chamber with Your glory. May we humbly trust You as 
the sovereign Lord of our lives and of America.
  Because Your strength is limitless, our inner wells need never be 
empty. Your strength is artesian, constantly surging up to give us 
exactly what we need in every moment. You give us supernatural thinking 
power beyond our IQ; You provide emotional equipoise when we are under 
pressure; You engender resoluteness in our wills and vision for our 
leadership; and You energize our bodies with physical resiliency.
  Lord, quiet our turbulent hearts with Your unqualified, indefatigable 
love. Give us profound confidence, security, and peace. We have 
absolute trust in Your faithfulness and we commit ourselves to You 
anew. Tune our hearts to the frequency of Your inner voice. Give us the 
clarity as we need to lead our Nation. In Your never-failing power, we 
humbly pray, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
