                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Father, Source of all the blessings, of life, You have made 
us rich spiritually. As we begin this new week, we realize that You 
have placed in our spiritual bank account, abundant deposits for the 
work of this week. You assure us of Your everlasting, loving kindness. 
You give us the gift of faith to trust You for exactly what we will 
need each hour of the busy week ahead. You promise to go before us, 
preparing people and circumstances so we can accomplish our work 
without stress or strain. You guide us when we ask You for help. You 
give us gifts of wisdom, discernment knowledge of Your will, prophetic 
speech, and hopeful vision. Help us to draw on the constantly 
replenished spiritual reserves You provide. Bless the Senators this 
week with great trust in You, great blessings from You, and great 
effectiveness for You. You are our Lord and Savior. Amen.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. We are glad to have the Chaplain back with 
us.
