NIGHT PRAYER: Monday 10/13

Though the days and nights grow cooler, Lord,

there's more than warmth

  in how my sweater hugs me snug

and how I'm swaddled by the comforter

  laid down upon my bed...

 

But the days are growing shorter

as the sun sets low and early

and as evening shadows lengthen

  no artificial light can fill

    my longing for the glow

      that fall has claimed...

 

Keep me hungry for the springtime,

for the warmth and light of sunshine, 

for the greening of what's faded, Lord,

and longer days to spend with you 

  in spirit, prayer and peace...

Protect me, Lord, while there's still light,

  keep vigil through the night

that awake, I keep the watch with you

  and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.

Now in the fading light of day, 

Maker of all to you we pray, 

that in your ever watchful love 

you'll guide and keep us from above. 

 

Help and defend us through the night, 

danger and terror put to flight. 

Never let evil have its way. 

Preserve us for another day. 

 

Father Almighty this be done, 

through Jesus Christ, our Lord, your Son, 

whom in the Spirit we adore, 

who reigns with you forever more.
