NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 3/4

Here's the Lenten pocket Cross I've been offering on my blog and on Facebook. (It's not too late to request one!)  It was at Jesus' last supper with his friends that he told them, "I am the way, the truth and the life."  Let's pray over those words this evening...

 

Lord Jesus, you are my way..

    yours is the path I want to follow,

    yours is the high road of wisdom and light,

    in your footsteps I want to walk,

    with you at my side my way is safe...

 

So, guide me, Lord:

    lest I chart a path of my own direction,     

    lest I take a shortcut and run from you,

    lest I stumble in darkness and lose my way,

    lest I follow anyone other than you...

 

Lord Jesus, you are my truth...

    yours alone is the word of truth,

    you are the Word of truth made flesh,

    your word is wise, pure and clear,

    your truth is my strength, my counsel and hope...

 

So speak your truth, Lord:

    when I'm tempted to lie,

    when I'm lost in confusion,

    when doubt haunts my choices,

    when your truth is my only way to peace...

 

Lord Jesus, you are my life...

    you're all that I need, desire and hope for,

    you're more than I merit, have earned or deserve,

    your life is pure gift, a blessing, my joy,

    your life beats faithfully, warm in my heart...

 

So, live in me, Lord:

    with your power, your fire and your Spirit,

    with your mercy cleansing my soul of sin,

    with your healing, making me whole,

    with your heart's desire that I should be one

        with you, my way, my truth and my life...

 

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.
