                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, You have created us to love You with our minds. Thank 
You for the ability to think Your thoughts after You. When we commit 
our thinking to You, You inspire us with greater insight, creative 
solutions, and innovative answers to our problems. We ask You to flow 
into our minds with fresh vision just as the tide flows into stagnant 
backwater with cleansing, refreshing, renewing power. We focus on each 
of the complexities we must face during the remainder of this week, and 
we ask You to give us ideas we would never have formulated without You. 
Bless the Senators today with profound insight and foresight to lead 
our great Nation. You have called all of them to serve You here at this 
time. You have granted them intellectual ability. Now guide their 
thinking so they will conceive Your plans and follow Your guidance. 
Through our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
