                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God, You know us as we really are. You know the inner person 
behind highly polished exteriors. You know when we are tired and need 
Your strength. You know about our worries and anxieties and offer Your 
comfort. You understand our fears and frustrations and assure us of 
Your presence. You feel our hurts and infuse Your healing love. Flood 
our inner being with Your peace so that we can live with confidence and 
courage.
  At 3:40 p.m. today, we will remember the sacrifice in the line of 
duty of Officer Jacob J. Chestnut and Detective John M. Gibson. 
Continue to bless their families. Help us to express our gratitude to 
the officers who serve in Congress with such faithfulness. Now we 
commit this day to You, for You are our Lord. Amen.
