                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, You give the hour and provide us with power; You bless 
each day and show us the way; You plan our week and reveal Your truth 
to those who seek. We pray for the Senators as they confront the busy 
schedule of the week ahead. Help them to trust You. Care for their 
families and loved ones. Lift the burdens they carry. Give them the 
assurance that they are never alone. You are the unseen presence in 
every moment, during every conversation, before each decisive decision, 
and throughout each meeting. Remind them of Your availability, Your 
affirmation, Your assurance. May this day and all the hours of the week 
ahead be as one constant conversation with You, a flow of prayer as 
natural as breathing out tension and breathing in Your strength. You 
are Sovereign of this Nation, Lord of this Senate, and Saviour of our 
lives. Amen.
