NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 8/11




As the sun sets, Lord,
   and evening breezes stir;
when clouds begin to disappear
   and darkness settles in
I'm wondering:
   how'd I spend my day?
What words of mine now echo
   in the hearts of friends and family?

What assistance did I offer
   to others in their need?

What time did I spend
   alone, with you, in prayer?

What comfort did I give
    in healing, grace and mercy?

What openness was mine
   to the gifts you sent my way?

What steps did I take
   to reconcile with others?

What silence did I seek
   to listen for your voice?

What effort did I make
   to accept my neighbor's help?

What risk did I take
  to be loyal to my faith?

What time did I spend
   just for others, not for me?

What peace might now be mine
   because I walked this day with you?
As the sun sets, Lord,
   and evening breezes stir;
when clouds begin to disappear
   and darkness settles in
I'm wondering:
   how'd I spend my day?
 
 Protect me, Lord, as I lie awake,
   and watch over me as I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
   and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.
