                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, we echo the prayer of the psalmist, ``Show me Your 
ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, 
for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.''--
(Psalm 25:4-5. We know from experience that, when we wait on You, we do 
renew our strength; we are much more creative thinkers; and our 
relationships are more kind and caring. It is both comforting and 
challenging to know that You will be with us all day long. You will 
hear everything that is said and see all that is done. Therefore, we 
renew our commitment to excellence. In that spirit, we seek Your 
guidance in the ongoing business of the Senate today and the 
preparations for the next session of the impeachment trial tomorrow. 
The Senators need You, dear Lord. Thank You in advance for answering 
this prayer for Your blessing of each of them according to her or his 
particular need today and for the unity of the Senate as a whole. You 
are our Lord and Savior. Amen.
