                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Faithful Father, we place our trust in You. We say with the psalmist, 
``In You, O Lord, I put my trust.''--Psalm 71:1. Things don't work out, 
You work out things. We entrust into Your care the worries and cares we 
may have brought to work with us today. We commit our loved ones and 
friends into Your protection. We pray for continued victory in the war 
against terrorism and pray for the safety of our men and women in the 
armed services. Here in the Senate family, we pray that our trust in 
You will make us trustworthy. Give us greater trust in one another. 
Free us of defensiveness and suspicion of those who may not share our 
party loyalties or particular persuasions. Bind us together in the 
oneness of a shared commitment to You, a passionate patriotism, and a 
loyal dedication to find Your solutions for the concerns that confront 
and often divide us. Bless the women and men of this Senate as they 
renew their ultimate trust in You and are faithful to the trust placed 
in them by the American people. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
