                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God of hope, this is a day for optimism and courage. Set us free 
of any negative thinking or attitude. There is enough time today to 
accomplish what You have planned. We affirm that You are here and that 
we are here by Your divine appointment. We also know from experience 
that it is possible to limit Your best for our Nation. Without Your 
help we can hit wide of the mark, but with Your guidance and power we 
cannot fail. You have brought our Nation to this place of prosperity 
and blessing. You are able to bless us if we will trust You and work 
together as fellow patriots. Fill this Chamber with Your Presence, 
invade the mind and heart of each Senator, and give this Senate a day 
of efficiency and excellence for Your glory. We thank You in advance 
for a truly great day. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
