                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. Heaven and Earth are filled with 
Your glory. Praise and thanksgiving be to You, Lord most high. Ruler of 
the universe, reign in us. Creator of all, recreate our hearts to love 
You above all else. Provider of limitless blessings, may we never 
forget that we have been blessed to be a blessing. Sovereign of our 
Nation, we commit our lives to You. We surrender the false idols of our 
hearts: Pride, position, power, past accomplishments. Without You, we 
could not breathe a breath, think a thought, or devise a plan. May our 
only source of security be that we have been called to be both Your 
friends and Your servants. You are the reason for living, the only one 
we must please, and the one to whom we are ultimately accountable. With 
united minds and hearts, we dedicate the work of this Senate to You. 
Through our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
