A friend told me she waits for these Night Prayers because evening's the time when her hope runs low and these prayers help to lift her spirits. Thinking my friend is not alone, this night's prayer is a plea for hope...
As evening shadows fall, Lord,
help me hope for the light of dawn...
In the midst of my distress, Lord,
help me hope for deep serenity...
When I'm lost in all that's past, Lord,
help me hope for what's to come...
When sadness stills my heart, Lord,
help me hope for joy that lasts...
When confusion rules my thoughts, Lord,
help me hope for understanding...
When I'm off on my own stubborn way, Lord,
help me hope for grace to bring me back...
When I'm lonely and alone, Lord,
help me hope your love will draw me close...
When I'm lost in fear and doubt, Lord,
help me hope for faith and trust in you...
When I don't know where to turn, Lord,
help me hope to find my way to you...
When I'm vulnerable, feeling weak, Lord,
help me hope to find great strength in you...
Help me find my hope in you, Lord,
in your saving love and mercy,
help me find my hope in you
who are my way, my truth, 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.
Tonight seems a good time to call up one of my favorite songs...
