NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 10/11

You're eternal, Lord:

    you had no beginning,

    you will have no end,

    you are, 

    always 

    and forever...

 

And yet you're ever-present 

to the whole of my existence:

    what's past and yet to come,

    in every single moment

    of every passing day;

    your timelessness dwells deep in me

    and I, in you, 

    my finite self,

    held close

    in your embrace...

 

I don't pretend to understand

how all of this can be 

so grant me, Lord, a moment

    in the silence of the nighttime, 

    in the quiet of your presence,

    in this prayer that makes us one

grant me a moment, just a moment,

    of your everlasting joy,

    your endless gift of peace,

    your deep, abiding mercy;

a moment of your timelessness

    not burdened by a past,

    not determined by a future

    but eternal in the moment,

    only now, 

    only you,

    only love...

     

Just a moment's all I ask, Lord,

a taste, a sip, a glimpse, a peek,

a tease seducing me to live in hope

of all you've promised:

    life in you and in your love 

    for ever, without end...

 

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.
