NIGHT PRAYER: Thursday 12/3

 

 

Some folks are afraid of the dark, Lord

- and not just the children!

 

Others fear the night time's silence:

    lonely hours passed with memories

    of days gone by, loved ones lost

    and treasured souvenirs of joy...

 

Then there's the mystery

    of walking in shadows, feeling our way

    through places unseen and unknown,

    wandering, wondering 

    where our steps will bring us,

    praying for your hand to guide us...

 

Help us remember, Lord:

    there's comfort in the night time;

    there's nothing in the dark 

       save what was there in sunshine;

    that memories glow in shadows,

        more clearly than in daylight;

    that your gentle Spirit always leads

        at dawn, at noon, all night...

 

Each day when evening comes then,

    help us fall into your arms,

make your home within our hearts

    that we might find our home in yours...

 

Protect us, Lord, through dark of night,

keep vigil as we sleep

that awake, we might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.

Come and rest in the arms of God,
Leave your worry and fear
Make your home in the heart of God,
God will dry every tear.
For the burden you carry will fade within God's care,
Come and rest in the arms of God. 

Gentle is God's way and humble is God's heart.

God's love will light the way that leads to peace.
Surely you shall see God's goodness and God's grace:
Rest now in God's embrace. 

Refrain 

Do not be afraid; God heals the broken heart.

Through grief and disbelief God still remains.
God and God alone will be your soul's true rest:
Fall in the arms of God. 

Refrain

 You are not alone, for God is always near.

Come, place your doubt and fear within God's care.
God will give you rest and soothe your weary soul:
Dwell in the heart of God. 

Refrain
