                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, help us see the invisible movement of Your spirit in 
people and in events. Beyond our everyday world of ongoing 
responsibilities and the march of secular history, with its sinister 
and frightening possibilities, You call us to another world of 
suprasensible reality which is the mainspring of the universe, the 
environment of our everyday existence, and our very life and strength 
at this moment. Help us to know that You are present, working out Your 
purposes, and have plans for us. Give us eyes to see Your invisible 
presence working through people, arranging details, solving 
complexities, and bringing good out of whatever difficulties we entrust 
to You.
  We begin this new week affirming our loyalty to You, dear God, and to 
our great Nation. Grant the Senators eyes to see You as the unseen but 
ever-present Sovereign. Then help them to claim Your promise: ``Call to 
me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which 
you do not know.'' Through Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
