                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear God, we praise You for Your love that embraces us and gives us 
security, Your joy that uplifts us and gives us resiliency, Your peace 
that floods our hearts and gives us serenity, Your Spirit that fills us 
and gives us strength and endurance.
  Be with us, Lord, so we can maximize the hours of this week. Help us 
to think clearly without confusion, to speak honestly without rancor, 
to debate without division, and to decide courageously without 
contention. May our rhetoric honor You and deal with issues and not 
personalities. Grant the Senators Your grace to work this week as 
patriots who love You and count it a high privilege to serve as leaders 
of our beloved Nation. Amen.
