                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Almighty and eternal God, there is no limit to what You are able to 
do through people who are unreservedly dedicated to You, who humbly 
trust You, who are open to Your guidance, and who give You all the 
glory for what they accomplish. We begin this new week asking You so to 
draw our hearts to You, so to guide our minds, so to fill our 
imaginations, so to control our wills that we will truly belong to You 
and become responsive to Your Spirit. We spread out before You the 
challenges of this day and ask that You will use us for Your plans and 
Your purpose.
  Bless the Senators. Replenish their strength, renew their sense of 
calling to serve You here, and rekindle their enthusiasm for doing Your 
will in all the issues of public policy. May they, and all of us who 
work with them, abandon ourselves to You. We place our lives in Your 
strong, capable hands for You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
