NIGHT PRAYER: Thursday 12/10

Advent calls us to look ahead, to look beyond

to expect and anticipate, to prepare,

to wait and watch for who will come, 

for what will be uncovered,

unveiled, disclosed, revealed...

 

And while today's the only day I have,

tomorrow always beckons, Lord,

tempting me to wonder 

where you'll lead me, where we'll go,

who I'll meet, what I'll find,

what challenges will face me,

what consolation soothe me,

what gifts of grace will show me

how you've been and always will be

my Lord, my friend, my love...

You lead me to the morrow

where I discover, day by day,

that you who walk right by my side

draw ever closer from ahead...

 

You're coming now to meet me,

you're my future without end

and all my days will end in you

who are and always have been

and ever more shall be

my Lord, my love, my friend...

 

Protect me, Lord while I'm awake

keep vigil while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and sleep, safe in your peace...

Amen.

You haven't rested for days
And you're so wrapped up in worry
That you can't even think

You've done the best you can do
But the answer still evades you
To the problems that you face

God holds the future -- He's got a plan
There's no need to worry, 'cause it's all in His hand
So if you are struggling, with what you should do
God holds the future for you

He'll lead you if you just ask
But you've got to trust His wisdom
And believe in His word
He sees what you cannot see
And He knows and wants the best for you
So it's time that you learned
