CREC-2000-12-15-pt1-PgS11807-2 2000-12-15 106 2     prayer SENATE SENATE PRAYER S11807 S11807     146 Cong. Rec. S11807 Congressional Record, Volume 146 Issue 155 (Friday, December 15, 2000) [Congressional Record Volume 146, Number 155 (Friday, December 15, 2000)] [Senate] [Page S11807] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] prayer The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer: God of peace, fill our minds and flood our hearts with Your peace. May we hear Your message: ``Peace on earth, good will to all people'' above the discordant voices of these turbulent times. Give us Your peace that calms our nerves, conditions our thinking, and clears our vision. Your peace is the serenity of heaven provided for the loved and forgiven. It is the assurance that we will receive all that we need to meet the challenges of this day. Your peace comes to us when we commit our responsibilities to You and then work with Your guidance and grace. Help the Senators to be peacemakers as they finish the work of this 106th Congress. Bear on their hearts and minds the words of Thomas Jefferson after the contentious election of 1800: ``The greatest good we can do our country is to heal its party divisions and make them one people.'' So we all dedicate ourselves to be peacemakers as You continue to heal our land. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen. ____________________
