NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 10/29


In a world and in a time, Lord,
    when truth is a commodity
        woven out of whole cloth,
        twisted and distorted
            beyond all recognition
        bought and sold for profit,
        disposed of for convenience,
        denied, betrayed and twisted
            into lies, half-truths and pretense...
 
So, in my world, Lord, and in my time...
 
Grant my intellect the smarts
    to inquire, probe and study...
 
Grant me knowledge to discern
    what is true from what is false...
 
Grant me courage to defend
    what my scrutiny reveals...

Grant me trust to judge my findings
    by the light of scripture's truth...

Grant me reverence and respect
    for the wisdom of the ages...

Grant me light to see the common sense
    that lives in simple truths...

Lord, grant me 
    grace to find and know the truth,
    grace to learn and love the truth,
    grace to live and guard the truth
    grace to speak and share the truth,
    grace to seek the greatest truth
        in you and in your word...
    
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.

Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
Such a Way, as gives us breath:
Such a Truth, as ends all strife:
Such a Life, as killeth death

Come, My Light, my Feast, my Strength:
Such a Light, as shows a feast:
Such a Feast, as mends in length:
Such a Strength, as makes his guest

Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
Such a Joy, as none can move:
Such a Love, as none can part:
Such a Heart, as joys in love
