                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, our purpose is to glorify You by serving our Nation. We 
all want to express an energetic earnestness about our work this week. 
Help us to know what You want and then to want what we know; to say 
what we mean and mean what we say. Give us resoluteness and 
intentionality. Free us to listen to You so intently that we can speak 
with courage and boldness. Keep us in the battle for truth rather than 
ego-skirmishes over secondary issues.
  You have told us that to whom much is given, much is required. Thank 
You that You also have taught us that of whom much is required, much 
shall be given. Lord, You require a great deal of the women and men of 
the Senate. Provide them with an extra measure of Your strength, 
wisdom, and discernment for the crucial work of this week. And this 
afternoon, we particularly want to pray for U.S. Capitol Police 
Security Aide Alieu Terry and his family, after the unexpected death of 
his daughter last week. Father, comfort them and bring them to Your 
supernatural peace. In Your all-powerful Name. Amen.
