NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 9/13

I'm not sure why this is, Lord,
but it's at the end of each day that I'm most aware
    of choices I might consider,
    decisions I need to make
    and forks in the road waiting to see
    which way I'll turn, which path I'll take...

Decisions and choices are ever before me:
    some are small, piddling, of no consequence
but others are huge, important and real
    filled with life-changing potential...

Help me tend to the big stuff, 
    the things that matter,
    choices I'll make that will make a difference
    not only in my life but in others' as well...

Give me knowledge and shrewdness, 
    understanding and vision, 
    counsel and insight,
    clear perception and keen intuition...

But more than all this, Lord, give me wisdom:
    a share in the wisdom only you possess,
    a share in the Spirit's timeless wisdom,
    a gift for all ages, a boon for all peoples,
    a blessing for me when I have to decide
    which way to turn, which path to take,
    what choices will lead me to you...

Protect me, Lord, as I lie awake
    and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
    and asleep, rest in your peace.

 

Amen.
