                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, whose love casts out fear, You are our refuge and 
strength, a very present help in times of trouble. We come to You for 
the replenishment of our souls. Grant us a profound experience of Your 
concern for each of us, as if there were only one of us, and yet, for 
all of us as we work together. Break down the walls we build around our 
souls. So often, we hold You at arm's length, usually when we need You 
the most. Make our souls Your home. Fill us with the security and 
serenity we need to face the challenges of this day. Bless the women 
and men of this Senate. Grip them with the conviction that their labors 
today are sacred and that they will be given supernatural strength, 
vision, and guidance. Thank You in advance for a truly productive day. 
Through our Lord and Savior. Amen.
