NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 10/13

At sunset, Lord, at dusk,

a grace in the evening shadows

calls me to your presence,

inviting me to pray, 

to listen for your voice, your word,  your truth.

to await your healing touch...

Sometimes in my prayer, Lord, 

even often, 

what I find inside myself is not the same,

 just doesn't match,

the outside others see...

I disguise, I hide my brokenness:

the walls I build inside keep me from others

and from you, and from the person 

you're calling me to be...

Somewhere deep inside I fail to love 

the person you created me to be:

I deny my strengths and goodness,

seeing only faults and failings,

while my gifts are left unopened 

and my talents waste away...

In this maze of thoughts and feelings,

I feel lost with no way out:

I need you, Lord, 

to lead me and guide me,

mend me and heal me 

- from the inside out-

'til I'm whole and  I'm made holy 

by your grace and by your touch,

by your Spirit, love and mercy...

Rebuild me  from the bottom up,

renew me with your presence,

recreate me from the inside out

and make of me, O Lord, a worthy shelter

for your holy, saving name...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

and watch over me when I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

Shelter Your Name by Danielle Rose

You are all I am not

You are all that I am
Break down these walls
Take all my brokenness
Rebuild me to shelter your name

You are all I am not
You are all that I am
Jesus, break down these walls
Take all my brokenness
Rebuild me to shelter your name

Help me forgive myself
Help me to lift the cross
I've laid upon my soul
Help me to look at myself
Through your eyes
To see all I am
And still be satisfied
Help me forgive myself

Chorus

Within my secrets, Jesus
There you reside
And I need you to reconcile
To renew all that's inside
For if I want to love you
Then with your love, Jesus
I must love myself humbly, too

Chorus
