                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear God, You have shown us that any week without Your grace and 
guidance makes us weak. So as we begin this new workweek, we dedicate 
ourselves to trust in Your goodness, to walk with You humbly, to listen 
to You attentively, and to serve You obediently. We ask for quiet and 
peaceful hearts, alert and agile minds, and ready, responsive wills.
  Remind the Senators that there is enough time in any one day to do 
what You require and artesian strength to accomplish what You desire. 
Free them from tension and tiredness, worry and anxiety. Give spinning 
wheels good tread. Help them to trust as if everything depended on You 
and work knowing that You depend on them to accomplish Your best for 
the Nation.
  We love You, Father, and we commit this week to be an expression of 
that love. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
