                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear Father, the psalmist's words serve as our motto for today. 
``This is the day which the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad 
in it.''--Ps. 118:24. You have all authority in heaven and on earth. 
You are sovereign Lord of our lives and of our Nation. We submit to 
Your authority. We seek to serve You together here in this Chamber and 
in the offices that work to help make the Senators' deliberations run 
smoothly. We commit to You all that we do and say this day.
  Make it a productive day for the Senators. Give them positive 
attitudes that exude hope. In each difficult impasse, help them seek 
Your guidance. Draw them closer to You so that, in Your presence, they 
can rediscover that, in spite of differences in particulars, they are 
here to serve You and our beloved Nation together. In our Lord and 
Savior's Name. Amen.
