                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Father, our morning prayer is like being amazed by deposits 
in our checking account from unexpected sources. We are astounded by 
Your goodness. You know what we will need for today and You deposit the 
required amounts of insight, discernment, and vision in our minds. You 
fill the wells of our hearts to overflowing with the added courage and 
determination that are necessary for the demands of today. Even now, we 
feel fresh strength as Your Spirit energizes our bodies. We should not 
be surprised. You have promised that, ``As your days, so shall your 
strength be.''--Deuteronomy 33:25.
  Bless the women and men of this Senate and all who work with and for 
them that this will be a day in which we draw on Your limitless 
resources for dynamic leadership. Through our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
