                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Generous God, we praise You that it is Your desire to give good gifts 
to those who ask You. Forgive us when we are stingy receivers. You give 
strength to the tense and tired, courage and boldness to those who are 
fearful, guidance to the humble who ask You to guide their decisions. 
We say with the psalmist, ``The Lord is my strength and my shield; my 
heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly 
rejoices.''--Psalm 28:7 KJV.
  Bless the Senators today. Astound them with new insight and fresh 
vision they could not conceive without Your blessing. May they truly 
seek You and really desire Your will in their responsibilities and 
relationships today. You are waiting to infuse their minds and hearts 
with wisdom and guidance. Help them to trust You to guide and provide. 
Fill each Senator with Your inspiration and this Chamber with Your 
presence and power. Amen.
