NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 4/30

When my soul's bone dry, shrunk by grief

    and thirsty for solace and comfort,

then make of my heart a sponge, Lord,

    parched, absorbent and porous,

    waiting to soak in waters of mercy,

        streams of lasting peace... 

 

 

Make of my heart a sponge, Lord,

    drinking in every consoling word,

        every sweet memory of happier days,

every photo of good times past,

    every lyric of every tune        

        of every song that soothes my soul...

 

 

Make of my heart a sponge, Lord,

    moistened by tears of sorrow and joy, 

        immersed in waves of grief and hope,

            imbibing the love of family and friends...

 

 

Make of my heart a sponge, Lord,

    filled with the waters of saving grace,

        soaked in the promise of life to come,

            drenched in the hope only faith supplies...

 

 

Make of my heart a sponge, Lord,

    to hold and to keep every warm embrace,

        every story told, every silence shared,

    every email and text, every word and prayer

        that touches my soul with healing peace...

 

 

 

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

    and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

    and asleep rest in your peace...

Amen.
