                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Hear God's word in Proverbs 3:3-4:
  Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your 
neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor 
and a good name in the sight of God and man.
  Let us pray:
  Thank You, dear God, for this reminder of what is ultimately 
important to You. We commit this day to love You with all our minds and 
hearts. When love for You is our primary motivation, life becomes a 
delight and not a drudgery. The strain and stress are gone. We are free 
to work with one commanding goal: to do everything we do to glorify 
You. Faithfulness flows naturally. We are accountable to You. Help us 
to remember that every action, word, and decision is open to Your 
judgment. Bless the Senators today with the profound peace of trusting 
You completely and serving You with love and faithfulness. Amen.
