                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Sovereign of this Nation, we begin the work of this 
week with an acute sense of our accountability to You. We claim 
Solomon's promise, ``In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall 
direct your paths.''--Prov. 3:6. In response, we say with the psalmist, 
``Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be 
acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord.''--Psalm 19:14. Help us to remember 
that every thought we think and every word we speak is open to Your 
scrutiny. We commit this week to love You with our minds and to honor 
You with our words. Guide the crucial decisions ahead. Bless the 
Senators with Your gifts of wisdom and vision. Grant them the profound 
inner peace that results from trusting You completely. Draw them 
together in oneness in diversity, unity in patriotism, and loyalty in a 
shared commitment to You. And may these who lead honor and encourage 
their leaders here in the Senate: Tom Daschle, Trent Lott, Harry Reid, 
and Don Nickles. In the name of our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
