NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 5/13

At long last, Lord,

I've opened up my windows 

for the long awaited coming home of

    fresh air, warmth and sunlight,

    the greening of creation, 

    the early morning birdsong

    and dare I say it - spring!

These old friends have come around
and found their favorite chairs on my porch;
    they're catching up on all that's new,
    reminding me of Easter's joy
    and keeping winter's promise... 

Open wide, then, Lord,

the windows of my soul and 

    with your light's sweet, warm caress

        and Spirit's gentle breeze,

    come in and make yourself to home:

        I've been waiting for your visit...

Refresh my weary, wintered self,
and nurture deep within my heart
this season's hope and promise:

    a spring of paschal peace, Lord,

    and a summertime of grace...

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.
