NIGHT PRAYER: Thursday 10/15

Lord,
I keep thinking of St. Paul's words from Sunday's prayer:

I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
I know what it is to be in need
    and I know what it is to have plenty.
I have learned the secret of being content

    in any and every situation...
I can do all this through him who gives me strength....
And my God will meet all my needs
    according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

I long to be content as Paul was, Lord:

teach me the secret

    of being content in any and every situation;

help me to trust that I can do all things

    through the strength you give me;

help me believe that you will

   meet all my needs if I put my hope in you...

To be content, to be accepting,

    to be at peace in all circumstances:

that's my prayer tonight, Lord, 

    and I know, deep in my heart,

        that you desire nothing less for me...

 

Protect me, Lord, when I'm not content

and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might hope and trust in your help

and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.
