                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, the same yesterday, today, and forever, we thank You 
for the consistency of Your care on blustery, snowy days or on bright, 
shiny, blue sky days. Today, as the Capitol is blanketed with snow and 
the work of the Senate is delayed, we ask You to bless the Senators and 
their staffs. Use this day to further prepare them for the crucial work 
ahead for the Senate. Protect those who have ventured forth on icy 
roads and refresh with rest those who are snowbound in their homes. As 
You give the day, You show the way, and whatever the weather, You come 
to us when we pray. You are our Lord and Savior. Amen.
