                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God of truth, we praise You for the revelation of Your truth to 
people through history. We thank You for the lodestar leadership of 
Nathan Hale, the courageous revolutionary patriot, who in the moments 
before he was hanged said, ``I only regret that I have but one life to 
lose for my country.'' His grandson, Everett Hale, Chaplain of the 
Senate from 1903 to 1909, gave us another memorable saying that becomes 
the theme of our prayerful reflection this morning: ``I am only one, 
but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I 
can do, I should do and, with the help of God, I will do!''
  Father, thank You that You have a plan for each of us. Give us 
Everett Hale's determination to trust You for the power to follow 
through on what You have given us the clear conviction to do. Bless the 
Senators with incisive intentionality for the challenges of this day. 
You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
