                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, it is awesome to realize that we have been called to be 
Your servants, elected to be Your friends, chosen to be Your leaders of 
this Nation. Grant the women and men of this Senate three liberating 
assurances today: that You are present in this Chamber, that they are 
accountable to You for the progress of this day, and that each one is 
called to be an enterprising instigator of cooperation and creative 
compromise. Father, You know all the issues of the complicated 
legislation before the Senate at this time. Resolve differences, create 
a greater spirit of unity, and motivate oneness in seeking what is 
really best for our Nation. Before we turn to the challenges of the 
day, we return to You to be reminded of why we are here and to be 
renewed by Your strength. In the Name of our Lord and Savior. Amen
