                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, You are the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We 
praise You for Your reliability. Our lives change: We have good days 
and bad days; we experience up times and down times. Often we are 
caught in the muddle of our moods; sometimes life goes bump when things 
don't turn out as we expected. We become disappointed with people. But 
You are our mighty God who has entrusted us with work to do for Your 
glory. Each time we return to You to find strength to survive and 
thrive, You are there waiting for us. We begin this new work-week where 
everything should begin and never end: in complete trust in You, Your 
availability, and our accountability to You.
  Bless the Senators and all of us who work with them. May this be a 
week of progress and productivity. We place our reliance squarely on 
Your reliability. Through our Lord and Savior. Amen.
