NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 2/15

I can study all that's past, Lord,

and pray to gain what wisdom

the ages may hand down...

 

I can scrutinize the present

and hope to read correctly

all the signs the times disclose...

 

But I cannot know the future,

can't foresee what's just ahead,

what tomorrow has in store...

 

For my story's arc is incomplete:

my destiny's a mystery

beyond my grasp and ken...

 

So I pray you give me grace, Lord,

to revere all I have learned,

to pay heed to what I see...

 

What's to come 

is known to you alone

and rests in your sure hands:

may your Spirit guide and guard me,

protect me and prepare me,

for what comes when morning dawns...

 

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.
