                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Sovereign of our beloved Nation, and the source of the 
absolutes that knit together the fabric of character, we ask You to 
stir up the banked embers on the hearth of the hearts of people across 
our land. Rekindle the American spirit.
  We allow our hearts to be broken by what breaks Your heart in the 
American family, schools, and society. The roots of our greatness as a 
nation are in the character of our people. Our Founders' passion for 
justice, righteousness, freedom, and integrity gave birth to a unique 
nation. Now, at this crucial time in our history, we ask You to bless 
the Senators as they set an example to encourage parents, teachers, 
coaches, spiritual leaders, and all who impact our youth with the 
ethical values which transcend the divisions of race, creed, politics, 
gender, the rich, and the poor. You are our Adonai, our Elohim, Yahweh, 
our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
