                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Holy God, before Whom we dare not swagger in self-sufficiency, we 
humbly confess our need for You. We don't have all the answers; we are 
not always right; and we are not perfect in our judgments of people or 
what is best. We turn to You for wisdom, penetrating insight, and 
precise analysis. Bless the Senators to know that You give the day and 
You provide the way. Thank You for their deep desire to know what is 
right and do it, to discern Your best for America, and to pledge their 
lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to achieve it. We join 
with the psalmist, claiming Your promise: ``The humble You guide in 
justice and the humble You teach Your way.''--Based on Psalm 25:9. May 
our fresh praise for Your blessings be the antidote to any false pride. 
You alone are the source, security, peace, and hope because You alone 
are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
