NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 9/17

In the middle of it all, Lord,
    whatever "all" might be...

In the thick of what confounds me
    and hijacks my attention...

Apart from all the nonsense
    that clutters up my life...

Regardless of my problems,
    my anxieties and fears...

In spite of doubts that simmer
    in my thoughts and in my heart...

Aside from what distracts me
    and disturbs my concentration...

Lord...

 

Come to my assistance,

    help me find my way to peace...

Help me make some quiet time
    and find a place where I can rest...

Help me share with you the whole
    of what my soul holds deep inside...

Help me lay aside my burdens
    and the troubles of this day...

Help me rest with you beside me,
    there to calm my anxious soul...

Help me seek in you the strength I need

    to do the next right thing...

 

Help me hear your word, your wisdom

    and your truth to guide my way...

 

In the middle of it all, Lord,

    whatever "all" might be,

be a haven for my prayer

    and the peace my heart desires...

 

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake,

    keep vigil while I sleep

that in the middle of it all

    I find my peace and joy in you...

Amen.

In The Middle Of It All by Janet Paschal 

 

 

When the weight of the world
Is pulling you down
And all that you can see
Are tears on the ground
I know it's hard to understand
That he is really there
And it's harder to believe
That he really cares

But in the middle of it all
He's always close beside you
To constantly remind you
That it's from his strength you draw
And when the nights just linger on
He's not that far at all
He'll never let you fall
He'll hear you when you call
In the middle of it all

You'll find peace you can't explain
And hope to see you through
At the mention of his name
He'll be there to comfort you
When everything goes wrong
His praise will be your song
And joy from deep within
Will fill your heart again

When nights just lingers on
He's not that far at all
He'll never let you fall
He'll hear you when you call
In the middle of it all

He'll never let you fall

He'll hear you when you call

In the middle of it all
