                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, thank You for the gift of prayer. You always are the 
Initiator. You call us to prayer because You want to communicate Your 
love, forgiveness, guidance, and power. It is awesome that You, Creator 
and Sustainer of the universe, know each of us and care about what 
concerns our Nation. Time with You changes things. It changes us, our 
attitudes, our circumstances, and the people of our lives.
  Today, as we met for the National Prayer Breakfast, we prayed 
specifically for our President, Bill Clinton. Bless him in this last 
year of his Presidency. Grant him Your grace and peace, wisdom and 
guidance. Strengthen the lines of communication with the Senate so that 
consensus may be achieved on matters of crucial legislation.
  We commit our day to continuous conversation with You so that all we 
say and do may be under Your control and for Your glory. You are our 
Lord and Savior. Amen.
