NIGHT PRAYER: FRIDAY 9/30

My heart is restless, Lord, 

    until it rests in you...  

        - Saint Augustine

 

My heart is anxious, Lord,

    'til it rests in your deep peace...

 

My heart is wounded, Lord,

     'til it rests within your healing arms...

 

My heart is grieving, Lord,

    'til it rests, again, in you, my joy...

 

My heart is worried, Lord,

     'til it rests and trusts in you...

 

My heart's impatient, Lord,

    'til it rests within your Spirit's calm...

My heart is tired, Lord,

    'til it rests, refreshed, in you, my strength 

 

My heart is doubtful, Lord,

    'til it rests within your wisdom's truth...

 

My heart is waiting, Lord,

      'til it rests in you who wait for me...

 

My heart is restless, Lord,

    until it rests in you...

 

Protect me in my restlessness,

keep vigil while I sleep,

that awake, I keep the watch with you

and rest and sleep in your deep peace...

 

Amen.

Restless by Audrey Assad

 

 

You dwell in songs that we are singing, 

Rising to the Heavens, rising to Your heart, Your heart. 

Our praises filling up the spaces  

In between our frailty and everything You are  

You are the keeper of my heart  

 

And I'm restless, I'm restless

Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You  

I am restless, I'm restless  

'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You  

Oh God, I wanna rest in You  

 

Oh, speak now for my soul is listening  

Say that You have saved me, 

whisper in the dark, the dark.  

'Cause I know You're more than my salvation  

Without you I am hopeless, tell me who You are,

You are the keeper of my heart  

You are the keeper of my heart  

 

And I'm restless, I'm restless  

'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You  

I am restless, I'm restless  

'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You, 

Oh I wanna rest in You  

 

Still my heart, hold me close  

Let me hear, a still small voice 

Let it grow, let it rise Into a shout, into a cry  

Still my heart, hold me close 

And let me hear, a still small voice 

And let it grow, let it rise  

Into a shout, into a cry  

 

And I am restless, I'm restless 

'Til I rest in You, let me rest in You 

And I am restless, so restless '

Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You, Oh God  

Let me rest in You.
