                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Lord of all life, our prayer is like breathing. We breathe in Your 
Spirit and breathe out praise to You. Help us to take a deep breath of 
Your love, peace, and joy so that we will be refreshed and ready for 
the day. Throughout the day, if we grow weary, give us a runner's 
second wind of renewed strength. What oxygen is to the lungs, Your 
Spirit is to our souls.
  Grant the Senators the rhythm of receiving Your Spirit and leading 
with supernatural wisdom. In this quiet moment, we join with them in 
asking You to match the inflow of Your power with the outflow of energy 
for the pressures of the day. So much depends on inspired leadership 
from the Senators at this strategic time. Grant each one what he or she 
needs to serve courageously today. Thank You for a great day lived for 
Your glory. You are our Lord and Savior. Amen.
