                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Father, You have all authority in Heaven and on Earth. You 
are sovereign Lord of our lives and of our Nation. We submit to Your 
authority. Bless the Senators as they serve You together in this Senate 
Chamber and as they recommit to You all that they do and say this day. 
Make it a productive day. Give them positive attitudes that exude hope. 
In each difficult impasse, help them to seek Your guidance. Draw them 
closer to You in whose presence they will discover that, in spite of 
differences in particulars, they are here to serve You and our beloved 
Nation together. Gracious Lord, You have made this Senate a family, and 
we care for each other. Together we intercede for the needs of our 
friend, Paul Coverdell, and ask You to guide and keep him this day. All 
praise and glory and honor be to You, Gracious Lord. Amen.
