                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  God of grace and God of judgment, we present our lives for Your 
review and Your regeneration. In the bright light of Your truth, we see 
ourselves as we really are and ask for the power to become all that You 
meant us to be. We pray that we will be distinguished for our 
integrity. Help us nurture that quality of undivided wholeness and 
unimpaired completeness. Strengthen our desire to have congruity 
between beliefs and behavior, consistency between what we know is 
honest and what we do. Particularly, we ask You to refortify the 
Senators' determination to have You guide their convictions and then 
give them the courage to vote these convictions. May their lives and 
their leadership reclaim the admiration of the American people for 
political leaders and the political process. Through our Lord and 
Savior. Amen.
