NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 9/20


There are times when I'm lost, Lord, 
    somewhere in between 
my faith in you
    and the burdens weighing heavy on my heart...

I believe in you and your care for me
but I get lost, Lord:
    lost in my problems and fears,
        praying and waiting to be rescued
    and wondering why it seems
        you're slow to hear my prayer...

Where might I go, Lord,
    what can I do, in these in-between times
while I wait for you to help me,
    to come and set me free?
 
Be the Lord of my in-between times, Jesus,
the moments and days, the weeks and seasons   
    in between
        sorrow and joy
            hurt and healing
                fear and confidence;             
        worry and tranquility                 
            rejection and acceptance
                confusion and clarity;
        grief and contentment
            shame and self-respect
                anxiety and serenity;
         doubt and belief
            loneliness and company
                foolishness and wisdom...
 
Come help me, Lord, and rescue me,
come steady and sustain me,
come comfort and assure me
when I'm living in between 
    all my troubles, stress and trials
and the peace my heart desires,
    the peace I long and thirst for,
    the peace I pray to find,
    the peace that's yours to give...
    
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake,
watch over me while I sleep,
that awake, I keep the watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

I've seen some glorious days  
Where I flew so much higher  
Much higher than I ever thought I would  
And soaring through the air  
I would declare  
Well, isn't God, isn't He good? '
 
Cause He was and He is 
And He always will be  
But in the in between 
It's hard for me to see 
 
In the in between  
Where every day life happens  
And the fields of green  
Belong to someone else  
 
In the in between  
Of what will be and what has been  
Jesus is a faithful friend 
In the in between  
 
I've been unsure of myself  
But even in the dark  
I'm pretty sure that all is well 
And then I see 
There in a mirror looking back at me  
A work that is not everything 
That it would be  
And He was and He is 
And He always will be 
Close beside and holdin' on to me
 
In the in between  
Where every day life happens  
And the fields of green  
Belong to someone else 

In the in between  
Of what will be and what has been  
Jesus is a faithful friend 
In the in between 

Grace and mercy know no seasonThere is no good reason why the best of daysMight not be the days aheadAnd in the in between when you have some time to dream 
Your faith and strength will be restoredBy the gracious Lord of the in between
 
Where every day life happensAnd the fields of greenBelong to someone else
 In the in betweenOf what will be and what has beenJesus is a faithful friendIn the in between
Jesus,  He's a faithful friend, 
In the in between.
