                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Father, in this quiet moment, we seek the ultimate joy of 
life. We come to abide simply in Your presence. We would not interrupt 
what You have to say to us with our chatter. We need You more than 
anything that You can provide for us. Make us as ready to listen as we 
are to talk. You have created us for communion with You. We thank You 
for speaking to us in our souls. Now we hear what You have to say to 
us: We are loved, forgiven, and cherished by You. You have plans for 
us: A personal will for each of us and a will for our Nation. Bless the 
Senators now as they wait on You. Inspire us to follow their leadership 
as far as they follow You. We open our minds and hearts to receive You, 
our Lord, our Saviour, Peace, and Power. Amen.
