A verse from the psalms we might pray EVERY night:
I will not enter the house where I live
nor go to the bed where I rest;
I will give no sleep to my eyes,
to my eyelids I will give no slumber,
till I find a place for the Lord...
O Lord of my nights and days...
What place have I made in all the years
that have brought me to you this night?
What place did I find, did I make for you,
in the day that's now behind me?What place did I make for you when I woke
and opened my eyes to this day?
What place for you as I made my way
from here to there - and back again?
What place did I make in my anxious fear
for you to visit with healing grace?
What place did I make in my heavy heart
for you to come and lighten the load?
What place did I make in my jumbled thoughts
for your truth, your word and your wisdom?
What place did I make in my hopes and my plans
for your Spirit to guide and show me the way?
What place did I make in the course of my day
to pause, to sit, just to be by your side?
And you, Lord...
You're never too busy to make a place
where I can find a home in your heart...
You're never to tired to make a place
for me to rest from my worry and work...
You never forget to make a place
where I can remember your love for me...
You're always quick to take your place
wherever I need your help, your strength...
And you're already there in every place
when I go to make a place for you...
So before I go to my room and my bed
before I close my eyes to sleep
I make a place in my heart for you,
and pray, O Lord, you'll hear my prayer...
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.
If you're having hard time making a place for the Lord,
tonight's song will help you find the place
the Lord has made for you...

I have no idea what to say right now
How could any words ease the pain right now
Something like this will never make sense
never make sense at all
I have no idea what to say right now
If you wanna come you can stay for awhile
I know a place we could go right now
Pack all your pieces, broken and bleeding,
all of your grief and doubt
I know a place we could go right now
When your questions don’t have answers
and you just can’t understand it
When your mind just won’t stop running
and the tears just keep on coming
You don’t have to explain it
He hears you before you can speak
Come with me, let’s take it to Jesus
This is the place you can rest for a while
If you need to just fall apart
Lay down your worry, he’s not in a hurry,
take all the time you need
This is the place you can rest for a while
When my questions had no answers
and I couldn’t understand it
When my mind wouldn’t stop running
and the tears just kept on coming
Didn’t have to explain it
He heard me before I could speak
Even now, I still take it to Jesus
