                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Great is Your faithfulness, O God our Father; morning by morning new 
mercies we see. All we have needed Your hand has provided. Great is 
Your faithfulness that sets us free. We echo the praise articulated so 
beautifully by Jeremiah, ``Through the Lord's mercies, we are not 
consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; 
great is Your faithfulness.'' Thank You, Father, that You desire to 
reproduce Your faithfulness in us. Make us people distinguished for our 
faithfulness to You, our families, our Nation, our calling to serve You 
in the Senate. Today, on what has been designated as Loyalty Day, may 
our love for You be expressed in loyalty. We know that loyalty is an 
act of the will; it is a quality we choose to express. We affirm our 
loyalty to Your commandments and our Constitution. May loyalty to one 
another within the Senate family exemplify to America that people with 
different political persuasions can be loyal to each other. You are our 
loyal Lord and our strengthening Saviour. Amen.
