I come to prayer with very few words,
not too much to say...
Tonight, Lord,
I trust you already know
all my heart holds:
my cares and concerns,
my sorrows and joys,
my blessings and needs...
Tonight, Lord,
I trust you hear the whole of my prayer
without my speaking even a word...
Tonight, Lord,
I trust that in the silence
my heart speaks to yours,
your heart hears mine
and we are one in prayer...
Tonight, Lord,
I'll just sit with you in prayer
- and perhaps I'll fall asleep
in the silence that we share...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me as I sleep
that awake I may keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
Suggestion:
You might share your wordless time with the Lord while listening to this simple, beautiful music. This recording is about a half hour long: use just what you need - or fall asleep with it!

NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 11/6
(Full Disclosure! I wrote today's Night Prayer around mid-afternoon,
its theme based on the presumption that the election would have been
called by the time I posted the prayer: wrong! So, at the last minute,
I'm posting a Night Prayer from over six months ago, a prayer I think
can serve us well tonight.)
Tonight, Lord,
