                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  O God, our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, we 
will not fear! In the midst of these perilous times, we hear Your voice 
saying, ``Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the 
Nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'' In response we affirm, ``The 
Lord of hosts is with us; You are our help and hope.''
  Almighty God, as You have intervened to help our Nation in just wars 
against despots and dictators of history, we ask for Your continuing 
intervention in the battle against terrorism. Guide the Senators as 
they further debate the resolution to authorize the use of United 
States Armed Forces against Iraq. Thank You for the integrity and 
intentionality the Senators have shown in the debate of this crucial 
issue. Guide their thinking, bind them together in unity and inspire 
their vision. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
