NIGHT PRAYER: Monday 8/16

 
Perhaps it's because of Covid
or all the political unrest
or the fires, floods and earthquakes 
or the racial tension in so many places 
or the culture of doubt that surrounds us
or the fear and anxiety discord breed,
or climate change or simply, human nature...
 
Whatever the reason or reasons, Lord,
we're uncertain, unclear and unsettled,
unsure of ourselves and our future,
undecided on which path to take, 
unresolved on how to move forward,
agnostic in matters of faith,
disturbed by the smallest of changes,
halting in speaking our truth...

We need confidence, trust and conviction,
we need certitude, faith and assurance,
we need clarity, purpose, direction,
we need you, Lord, our tower of strength...

We need you, our rock  and foundation,
we need you, our support and our mainstay,
we need you, our defense and protection,
we need you, Lord, our blessed assurance
that all manner of things shall be well...
 
Be our strength in times of weakness,
be our courage in times of fear,
be the guarantor of our safety,
be our promise that all shall be well...

When all things seem uncertain,
when we don't know where to turn
keep us firm in our hope, our trust and our faith
that in you, Lord, all shall be well,
all manner of things shall be well...

Protect us, Lord, while we're awake
and watch over us while we sleep
that awake, we might keep watch for you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
 
Amen.
