NIGHT PRAYER: Thursday 3/2



Just about every moment of every day, Lord,
    I get to choose...
 
I get to choose
    the next right thing to do...
 
I get to choose
    between lying and telling the truth...
 
I get to choose
    to speak or remain silent...
 
I get to choose
    between my needs and my neighbor's...
 
I get to choose
    to do what you ask or just what I want...
 
I get to choose
    to be honest or to cheat...
 
I get to choose
    to be foolish or wise... 

I get to choose
    between forging ahead or falling behind...
 
I get to choose
    between your word and my comfort...
  
I get to choose
    to reach out or withdraw...
 
I get to choose
    to be part of the problem or part of the solution...
 
I get to choose
    to pay attention or zone out...
 
I get to choose
    to love or to hate...
 
I get to choose
    to forgive or condemn...
 
I get to choose
    the real or the fake...
 
I get to choose
    to be careful or careless...
 
I get to choose
    between doubt and faith...
 
I get to choose
    to help or ignore those around me...
 
I get to choose
    to be selfish or selfless...
 
I get to choose
    to exclude or welcome the newcomer...
 
I get to choose
    between grace and sin...
 
I get to choose
    to persevere or give up...
 
I have a lot of choices to make, Lord:
    every day and all day long...
 
Help me to choose wisely,
    out of love for you and my neighbor;
help me to choose as you'd choose, Lord,
    help me choose  life over death...               
     
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.
