NIGHT PRAYER: Monday 6/10

A friend posted this photo, Lord,

    a perfect picture of peace...

The peace I find in this photo, Lord,

    touches the peace that rests in my heart,

but I wonder if those with restless hearts

    can touch the peace, can know the peace

can enter the peace of this scene serene

    and rest in its quiet beauty...

 

I pray then tonight for all those I know

    whose hearts are anxious and restless

who long to know within themselves

    the peace they see in the river...

I pray for those who seek your peace

    in grieving a loved one's loss...

I pray for those who search for peace

    in the maze of their confusion...

I pray for those who ache for peace

    to heal their hidden wounds...

I pray for those who cry for peace

    in their broken homes and families...

I pray for those who work for peace

    in the midst of conflict and war...

I pray for those hunger for peace

    and thirst for a sip of its sweetness...

I pray for those who pray for peace:

    night and day, and day and night,

        wide awake and in restless dreams...

    

    

    

        

      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The peace I see in the photo, Lord,

    touches the peace that rests in my heart,

so I pray that those with restless hearts

    might touch the peace, might know the peace

might enter the peace of this scene serene

    and rest in its quiet beauty...

Protect us, Lord, while we're awake

    and watch over us while we sleep

that awake, we might keep watch with you

    and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

 

I've shared this piece by Rutter before but I only just today found this beautiful arrangement by Aled Jones...
