NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 6/24

All good gifts come from your hand, O Lord,
and into our clumsy grasp
you entrust the sacred realities
of justice, peace and life... 

We know all too well

how fragile is the gift of peace

and how vulnerable we are
in each other’s greedy  hands... 

We plead and pray for wisdom, 

that leads us to your healing peace,

the peace that only you can give,

the peace that makes us one...

 

Bring us to that day, O God,
when justice, like a river, rolls

and peace flows by

in rivers of your grace...

 

Bring us to that day, Lord,

when we sow the seeds of righteousness

and reap a golden harvest

fit to feed the world around...

 

Bring us to that day, O God,
when war is but a memory,

a chapter in our history,
and peace - our way of life...

Hasten the coming of your day, O Lord!

 

Open and prepare our hearts 

to welcome and receive

the peace for which we long,

the peace we so much need...

 

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.
