                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, strength for those who seek You, hope for those who 
trust You, courage for those who rely on You, peace for those who 
follow You, wisdom for those who humble themselves before You, and 
power for those who seek to glorify You, we begin this new day filled 
with awesome responsibilities and soul-sized issues and confess our 
need for You. We are irresistibly drawn into Your presence by the 
magnetism of Your love and by the magnitude of challenges we face. Our 
desire to know Your will is motivated by Your greater desire to help 
us.
  We thank You for the men and women of this Senate. Bless them as they 
debate the resolution on partial birth abortion and reflect on the 
issues of advise and consent. Help them maintain a spirit of unity as 
they press on with honest, open discussion and come to conclusions 
which are best for our Nation and the world. You are our Lord and 
Saviour. Amen.
