                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear Father, focus our attention on You, on our calling to be 
leaders, and on the people around us. Meet our inner needs so that we 
can meet the needs of others. Replenish our own energies so that we can 
give ourselves unreservedly to the challenges of this new week. Give us 
gusto to confront the problems and to work on applying Your solutions. 
Replace our fears with vibrant faith. Most important of all, give us a 
clear assurance of Your guidance that we will have the courage of our 
convictions.
  Bless the women and men of this Senate with a personal experience of 
Your grace, an infusion of Your spirit of wisdom, and a vision of Your 
will in all that must be decided this week. In the name of our Lord and 
Savior. Amen.
