                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, we thank You for a different kind of continuing 
resolution. You resolve to continue to be with us, to bless us with 
Your grace and Your goodness. You have promised Your continued 
providential care for us as a beloved Nation. You have guided us 
through the years. We resolve to trust You to help us now when we need 
to overcome our differences and unite to lead the Nation. So our real 
continuing resolution is to call on You, seek Your solutions, end the 
power struggle, and complete the business of this Congress. So I sense 
that Republicans and Democrats would express their yeas and nays to a 
continuing resolution to praise You for being sovereign of our beloved 
Nation. Amen.
