                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Sovereign of history, benefactor of the blessings this 
Nation has enjoyed, and ultimate judge of the work of this Senate, we 
praise You for Your guidance and care. You give us beginnings and 
conclusions to phases of our work. Historians will write human 
evaluations of what we think we have accomplished, but You will have 
the final word about what has been achieved for the good of America. In 
these past weeks there have been disagreements, heated debate, and the 
bittersweet mixture of defeats and victories of legislative life. But 
thank You for those times when debate led to deeper truth and 
compromise to the blending of aspects for a greater solution. Help us 
to forgive and forget any memories of strained relationships or 
debilitating differences.NOTICE

  Now, as the Senators return to their States, renew those who are 
weary, reinforce those who are anxious, and rejuvenate those who need a 
second wind to press on for Your honor and glory. We praise You for the 
privilege of living in this Republic and for the opportunity to serve 
You in public office. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
