NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 5/13

So many things, Lord, rob me of my serenity:

    my fears, real and imagined;

    my anxious heart, troubled by the past

        and by all that's  yet to come;

    the waves of grief that ebb, flow

        and crash upon my soul;

    the anger I disguise as disappointment;

    the loneliness of helplessness,

        the helplessness of loneliness...

There's an aching wondering, Lord,

    Where are you in all my troubles?

And a tearful confidence 

    You're with me through them all... 

 

Calm me, Lord,

    as you calm the storm;

still me, Lord,

    keep me from harm;

let all the tumult within me cease

    and hold me, Lord, in your 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. 

 

I only discovered this beautiful song today:

   I pray it offers you at least a measure of the peace it offers me...

 

Calm Me, Lord by Margaret Rizza

Calm me, Lord,

    as you calm the storm

 

still me, Lord,

    keep me from harm

 

let all the tumult within me cease

    and hold me, Lord, in your peace...
