                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Sovereign of this planet within this universe among 
universes, by Your plan and power the Earth has revolved around the 
Sun, and You have blessed us with a new day. Today will be like no 
other day past or to come. We praise You for the privilege of being 
alive. Help us to trust You with all of the challenges and 
opportunities ahead of us today. We commit them to You. Go before us to 
prepare the way. We want to be so in tune with You that what we do and 
say will accomplish Your will.
  May we sense Your presence and make this day one of constant inner 
conversation with You. As the Senators practice Your presence, help 
them to trust You to guide their thinking. Give them a special measure 
of wisdom, insight, and discernment to tackle the problems that arise 
today. May this be a productive day as they hear and accept the 
psalmist's prescription for peace: Cast your burden on the Lord, and He 
shall sustain you.--
  Psalm 55:22. Amen.
