                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, reign supreme as sovereign Lord in this Chamber today. 
Enter the minds and hearts of all the Senators. May they be given 
supernatural insight and wisdom to discern Your guidance each step of 
the way through this crucial day. Break deadlocks, enable creative 
compromises, and inspire a spirit of unity. Overcome the weariness of 
the hard work of this past week. Give these men and women a second wind 
to finish the race of completing the legislative responsibilities 
before them.
  Where there is nowhere else to turn, we turn to You. When we fail to 
work things out, we must ask You to work out things. When our burdens 
make us downcast, we cast our burdens on You. If You could create the 
universe and uphold it with Your providential care, You can solve our 
most complex problems. We trust You, Father, and place the challenges 
of this day in Your strong capable hands. In Your all powerful name, 
Amen.
