                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, our Rock of Ages in the sifting sands of our times, You 
are our stability and strength. You have placed a homing spirit in our 
hearts, making us restless to return to You. And now in communion with 
You, we receive what we need--energizing power for this new day, 
enthusiasm for the demanding schedule of this long day, extraordinary 
intellectual resiliency for the challenges of this crucial day.
  Lord, bless the Senators with an assuring awareness of Your presence 
in the varied responsibilities they will assume today: the morning 
business, the party caucuses, the resumption of the impeachment trial, 
the State of the Union Address by the President. May their consistently 
repeated prayer in each changing circumstance, conversation, or 
conflict be: ``Lord, use me. Speak through me. Accomplish Your will in 
my life and leadership.'' And so we commit this day to live 
intentionally in the inspiration of Your Spirit. Amen.
