                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear Father, bless the Senators as they begin the August recess. 
During the time away from the daily stresses and strains of Washington, 
renew them mentally, spiritually, and physically. Give them quality 
time with family and friends. May relationships with their constituents 
in their States be strengthened as the Senators listen and learn what 
is on their minds and hearts. May these leaders, who give so much of 
themselves, allow You to give them what they need. Help them to rest in 
You, wait patiently for You to replenish their souls, and enjoy the 
sheer pleasure of leisurely hours. So much depends on these men and 
women. Help free them to depend on You more deeply. As this portion of 
the 107th Senate comes to a close, may these Senators feel that they 
have done their best and that You are pleased. Whisper in their souls, 
``Well done, good and faithful servant.'' You are our Lord and Saviour. 
Amen.
