                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  God of grace and God of glory, on the Congress pour Your power. Grant 
these leaders wisdom; grant them courage for the facing of this hour. 
We pray for our President, George W. Bush, tonight as he speaks to the 
joint session of Congress about the soul-sized issues confronting our 
Nation and the world. May this evening be a defining hour in our 
history. Reveal Your strategy for exorcising the evil treachery of 
terrorism. Draw us into Your inspiring presence, then into one another 
in shared patriotism, then to loyalty to our Commander in Chief in 
mutual commitment to seek and do Your will in the battle against this 
insidious, infamous threat to the freedom and peace of our world. Amen.
