                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, we are irresistibly drawn into Your presence by the 
magnitude of Your love. You place a homing spirit within us and call us 
home to Your heart. Thank You for the strength, security, and serenity 
that You provide in the midst of the strain and stress of public 
service. In Your presence we experience perfect peace for the pressure 
of conflict, the tyranny of the urgent, and late night legislation.
  It is when we return to You that we find each other. You help us 
discover unity and diversity and oneness in spite of differences. We 
feel the bond of loyalty of a shared patriotism. Remind us that all 
power is derived through You and authority is divinely delegated for 
the fulfillment of Your purposes. May we never forget that You are in 
control and our task is to seek and do Your will. Bless this Senate as 
Senators and staff confess again that You are absolute Lord of all, the 
One to whom we are accountable and, ultimately, the only One we must 
please. You are sovereign. Amen.
