NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 5/12

Had a great conversation with an old friend today, Lord, 

and while speaking of prayer, 

he mentioned he sometimes tells you,

    "Any hints would be readily accepted!"

I love that line, Lord!

    Any hints would be readily accepted!

I can imagine so many applications of this prayer!

 

    Lord, I'm really confused

    and feeling unsure about so many things:

        Any hints would be readily accepted!

 

    So much suffering in the world and right around me,

    and I just don't understand why, Lord:

         Any hints would be joyfully accepted!

 

    Beats me, Lord, 

    but I'm really not always sure of where I'm going:

        Any hints would be gratefully accepted!

 

    And what can I do to break the vicious circle

    of prejudice, hatred and mistrust?

        Any hints would be heartily accepted!

 

    Got some friends I'd love to help

    but I don't know what to say or do, Lord:

       Any hints would be enthusiastically accepted!

    Would love to grow closer to you, Lord

    and know the easiest best ways to do that:

        Any hints would be contentedly accepted!

 

    I want to know your mind and plan for me

    but my own thoughts cloud my vision:

        Any hints would be willingly accepted!

 

    In fact, Lord, at any time of any night or day,

    on any day, of any week, in any month, in any year:

        Any hints, clues, leads, signs or tip-offs

            would be delightedly, cheerfully, graciously,     

                warmly and readily accepted!

 

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.
