                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Father, we praise You for Your love that embraces us and 
gives us security, Your joy that uplifts us and gives us resiliency, 
Your peace that floods our hearts and gives us serenity, and Your 
Spirit that fills us and gives us strength and endurance.
  We dedicate this day to You. Help us to realize that it is by Your 
permission that we breathe our next breath and by Your grace that we 
are privileged to use all the gifts of intellect and judgment You 
provide. Bless the Senators as they continue to sort out the crucial 
issues of providing patients' rights. Give them a perfect blend of 
humility and hope, so that they will know that You have given them all 
that they have and are and have chosen to bless them this day. We join 
with them in responding and committing ourselves to You. Through our 
Lord and Saviour. Amen.
