                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, who blesses the Nation whose people pray for their 
leaders, on this special day of unified prayer, we thank You for 
hearing and answering the prayers of the American people for the 
President and Vice President and their families, the members of the 
Cabinet, the Justices of the Supreme Court, the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
of the military, the Members of the House of Representatives, and the 
women and men of this Senate. Here in this historic Chamber, we 
specifically pray for President pro tempore Robert Byrd, for Tom 
Daschle, Harry Reid, Trent Lott, and Don Nickles. In 1 Timothy 2:1, You 
remind us that we are to make requests, prayers, intercessions, and 
thanksgiving for those in authority. We claim that at this very moment 
You are releasing supernatural strength, wisdom, and vision in these 
leaders. May they never forget that they are being sustained by You 
because of the prayers of millions of Americans around the clock. May 
these leaders never feel alone or dependent only on their own strength. 
We truly believe that prayer is the mightiest force in the world. You 
are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
