NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 10/17

Sometimes, Lord,

like a child,

I want to crawl into my mother's lap

or have my father lift me 

to the cradle of his arms...

 

Sometimes, Lord,

like a child,

I need a place to run to,

a hiding place where I'll be safe:

far from troubles, far from worries

far from all I fear...

 

Sometimes, Lord,

like a child,

I want to be held - close;

to be comforted, consoled,

and protected from all danger

- real or just imagined... 

 

Sometimes, Lord,

like a child,

I need to trust there's always someone there

    to cling to for dear life,

    to wipe away my tears

    and to hold me in the promise

        of a love that lasts forever...

 

So, especially tonight...

    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.

You are my hiding place 

You always fill my heart with songs of deliverance 

Whenever I am afraid I will trust in You 

I will trust in you 

Let the weak say: 

    I am strong in the strength of my Lord!
