                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Jehovah-Shalom, You have promised us a peace that passes all 
understanding. That is the quality of peace we need today. It is beyond 
our understanding that You can produce serenity in our souls when there 
is so much that is unfinished, unresolved, and unforgiven in us, in our 
relationships, in our work, and in our society. Sometimes we even deny 
ourselves the calm confidence of Your peace because we are so aware of 
what denies Your peace in us. Take from us strain and stress as our 
anxious hearts confess our need for You. Grant us Your 
incomprehensible, but indispensable, palpable peace so that we can be 
peacemakers. Give the Senators a fresh infusion of Your peace so that 
they may deal with disagreements and discord in the legislative 
process. Help them overcome problems and endure the pressure of these 
days. In the name of the Prince of Peace. Amen.
