                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, You give light to those who are in darkness. Shine Your 
light in this Chamber so that our lawmakers may do Your will. As they 
search for common ground, guide their feet into the way of peace. Lord, 
give our Senators a heightened sense of the special role You have for 
them to play in the unfolding drama of American history. Use them this 
day for Your glory.
  Lord, we ask that You would comfort the families who lost loved ones 
in the tragic west Texas train collision.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
