                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Spirit of the Living God, infuse our minds with wisdom, our hearts 
with patriotism, our wills with yielded obedience, and our bodies with 
energizing strength. Set on fire our spirits with Your love so that we 
can love even those we find it difficult to love. Burn away any self-
centeredness so we can care for the needs of others. Breathe Your life-
giving breath into our souls so we can serve, unrestricted by self-
serving attitudes. Thank You that You do not tailor our opportunities 
to our abilities, but rather give us courage to match life's 
challenges.
  As this workweek comes to a close, we are amazed at what You can do 
through us when we put You and our Nation above partisanship, and we 
are alarmed by how quickly we can be divided by party spirit. Grant the 
Senators a special measure of greatness to unite in oneness under Your 
sovereignty. May they glorify You in all that is said and done this 
day. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
