                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Sovereign of our Nation and Lord of our lives, we begin 
this 107th Senate with a renewed commitment of our lives to You. The 
Senators and all of us who are privileged to work with them turn over 
to You the control of our lives with fresh dedication. Remind us that 
we are here by Your choice and permission and that You will provide 
exactly what is needed to meet the challenges and opportunities of each 
new day. We thank You for our new President and Vice President and 
their families. Give George W. Bush and Dick Cheney Your power to lead 
wisely, the guidance to know and follow Your will, the courage to call 
all of us to servant leadership, and the desire to forge strong ties 
between the executive and legislative branches of our Government. May a 
bond of mutual trust enable creative dialog and constructive debate 
that move us forward in dealing with the crucial issues before our 
Nation.
  Lord, there is no limit to what we are able to do through women and 
men who love You and whose hearts have been galvanized into unity and 
devotion for America. May it be so now, Lord. Amen.
