NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 8/9

I'm always urging others, Lord, to

    Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

which I sometimes abbreviate to

    PGFWABF!  

and which I've done so often 

    my phone now auto-suggests the short form 

        as soon as I type: PG!

 

I love this prayer, Lord, for the many truths it holds

    in one short and simple line:  

        YOU are God - and I am not.

        My life is filled with gifts

            I could never give myself.

         Every blessing comes from you, Lord

            and for all that I've received

                I owe you all my thanks and praise...

 

This prayer puts things in order, Lord,

    in just the right perspective,

it humbles me and gives me pause

    to ponder your great goodness...

 

When times are tough, resources low,

    stir my heart and mind to prayer

'til I remember all your gifts and 

    Praise you, Lord, 

        from whom all blessings flow! 

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.

O God beyond all praising,  

We worship you today 

 And sing the love amazing  

That songs cannot repay; 

 

For we can only wonder  

At every gift you send,  

At blessings without number  

And mercies without end. 

 

We lift our hearts before you  

And wait upon your word,  

We honor and adore you,  

Our great and mighty Lord.

 

Then hear, O gracious Savior,  

Accept the love we bring,  

That we who know your favor  

May serve you as our king.

 

And whether our tomorrows  

Be filled with good or ill,  

We'll triumph through our sorrows  

And rise to bless you still:  

 

To marvel at your beauty  

And glory in your ways,  

And make a joyful duty 

Our sacrifice of praise.

 

And whether our tomorrows  

Be filled with good or ill,  

We'II triumph through our sorrows  

And rise to bless you still:

 

To marvel at your beauty  

And glory in your ways,  

And make a joyful duty 

Our sacrifice of praise.
