                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, we dedicate this day to discern and do Your will. We 
trust in You, dear Father, and ask You to continue to bless America 
through the leadership of the women and men of this Senate. Help them 
as they grapple with the problems and grasp the potential for the 
crucial issues before them today.
  You provide us strength for the day, guidance in our decisions, 
vision for the way, courage in difficulties, help from above, unfailing 
empathy, and unlimited love. You never leave us or forsake us; nor do 
You ask of us more than You will provide the resources to accomplish. 
So, here are our minds, think Your thoughts in them; here are our 
hearts, express Your love and encouragement through them; here are our 
voices, speak Your truth through them. For You are our Lord and 
Saviour. Amen.
