                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, You have called us to be creative thinkers. You endowed 
us with a thinking brain so we could think Your thoughts after You. 
That's awesome, Father, You are omniscient. You know everything. You 
also know what is best for our future as a Nation. This is Your land; 
we are Your people; we are a Nation under Your sovereignty. In 
response, we make Proverbs 16:3 the motto for this day, ``Commit Your 
works to the Lord and Your thoughts will be established.'' Throughout 
the day, we will intentionally submit the work of this Senate to You, 
seek Your guidance, and claim this promise for clarified convictions in 
keeping with Your will. A profound peace invades our souls as we say 
with the psalmist, ``I commit my way to the Lord and trust also in Him, 
and He shall bring it to pass * * * I rest in the Lord and wait 
patiently for Him.''--Psalm 37:5,7. Speak to our minds, Lord, we are 
listening. Amen.
