                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, strong source of strength for those who stretch the 
human limits and go beyond, we praise You for courage to stand firm for 
truth as You have revealed it to us. Give us convictions that require 
Your courage. We know that courage is fear that has said its prayers. 
Here we are, Lord, relinquishing any fears that may cripple us in being 
bold leaders. We can take hold of courage because You have taken hold 
of us. You give us power to overcome rather than overreact. We accept 
the admonition of the psalmist: Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, 
and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord--(Psalm 
27:14).
  Bless the women and men of this Senate as You solidify their 
convictions and then give them the gift of courage. You are our Lord 
and Saviour. Amen.
