                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Father, Lord of the ups and downs of life, Lord of the 
seeming triumphs and supposed disappointments, Lord who does not change 
in the midst of change, we come to You for Your strength and Your 
power. Make us hopeful people who expect great strength from You and 
continue to attempt great strategies for You. Today especially, we ask 
You to fill this Chamber with Your presence and each Senator--Democrat, 
Republican, Independent--with Your special resiliency. Replenish our 
wells with Your peace that passes understanding. We claim Your promise 
through Isaiah--Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, I am your 
God. I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; and I will uphold you 
with My righteous right hand. Amen.
