                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  O God, our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble, 
we will not fear! In the midst of these perilous times, we hear Your 
voice saying, ``Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted 
among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!'' In response we 
affirm, ``The Lord of hosts is with us;'' You are our help and our 
hope.
  Gracious God, I thank You that from the very beginning of our Nation, 
from the Continental Congress, through the formation of our 
Constitution, to the establishment of the first Senate, the leaders of 
this Nation have acknowledged You as Sovereign of this land and the 
source of all our blessings.
  And now, gracious Lord, I thank You for the privilege of serving as 
Chaplain of these men and women. As You have called them to lead our 
Nation and the world, You have opened their minds and hearts to receive 
Your guidance and care. It is with profound gratitude that I reflect on 
these wonderful years with them. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
