I have my own craziness to deal with, Lord:
my 0wn fears and confusion,
my own inner turmoil
and the conflicts I experience
with the people around me...
I have more than enough unsurety in my life,
enough insecurity and unrest,
enough lack of predictability
about the day ahead of me
and what burdens it might bring...
And so I pray this night...
do anything, Lord, anything at all:
to quell the chaos,
to mute the hateful voice of pride,
to silence the shrieking horror of war
and restore us to that harmony, that order
in which we were created...
Anything you might do, Lord,
to make this world a little saner,
more calm, serene and peaceful:
anything at all would be blessing and a grace
most gratefully received...
Protect us, Lord while we're awake
and watch over us while we sleep
that awake, we might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
Save Us, O Lord by Bob Dufford

Save us O Lord, carry us back,
Rouse Your Power and come.
Rescue Your people; Show us Your face.
Bring us back
O Shepherd of Israel hear us,
Return and we shall be saved.
Arise , O Lord; Hear our cries, O Lord.
Bring us back.
How long will You hide from Your people?
We long to see Your face.
Give ear to us, Draw near to us,
Lord God of hosts!
Turn again: care for Your vine;
Protect what Your right hand has planted.
Your vineyards are trampled,
Uprooted and burned,
Come to us Father of light.
