NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 5/15

 

Sometimes, even often, Lord,

the mystery of how you move in my life

    blows my mind, 

    fills me with wonder,

    deepens my faith  

    and moves me to tears...

 

Sometimes, even often, Lord,

in the mystery of grace you show me how

    what I thought was lost

        is found again, 

    what I long had feared

        is finally  tamed, 

    what I dared not dream

        has now come true...

 

Sometimes, even often, Lord,

the mystery of how you move in my soul

    calms my worries,

    relieves my distress, 

    answers my prayer, 

    heals an old wound,

    makes light my burdens

    and easy my path...

 

And sometimes, even often, Lord, 

I need to wait on the mystery of you

    who knows just the time

        that's right for me,

    whose timing's not mine

        but is never too late,  

    whose time with me 

        is filled with patience, mercy and peace...

 

Sometimes, even often, Lord,

the mystery of how you move in my life

    opens my eyes, 

    blows my mind, 

    fills me with wonder,

    mends my brokenness, 

    lifts me up, 

    heals my wounds, 

    restores my hope,

    strengthens my resolve, 

    refreshes my spirits,

    deepens my faith,

    moves me to tears

        - and to you, my Lord and God... 

 

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.
