                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, You have called us to perform our duties with delight 
for Your glory and the good of our Nation. Tomorrow we celebrate the 
birthday of a great American, John Quincy Adams. His memorable words 
ring in our hearts; when asked why he never seemed discouraged or 
depressed he said, ``Duty is ours; results are God's.'' We adopt this 
as our motto for today's relationships and responsibilities. We report 
for duty with our intellects, emotions, and wills. Today You will tap 
each of us on the shoulder and call us to some duty. We commit 
ourselves to do Your will as best we know it and leave the results to 
You. We say with Adams, ``Providence has showered blessings unforseen 
and unsought. Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to Your name be glory.''
  Thank You, eternal God, for the assurance of heaven. We ask for Your 
courage and comfort for Senator George Voinovich whose brother Paul 
joined the triumphant company of heaven on Monday. Strengthen the 
Senator and his family in this time of grief with renewed grace. You 
are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
