                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, 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 in this Chamber and in the offices that 
work to help make the deliberations of the Senate run smoothly. We 
commit to You all that we do and say this day. Make it a productive 
day. Give us positive attitudes that exude hope. In each difficult 
impasse, help us seek Your guidance. Draw us closer to You in whose 
presence we rediscover that, in spite of differences in particulars, we 
are here to serve You and our beloved Nation together. In our Lord's 
Name. Amen.
