NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 2/25

I want to make time this Lent, Lord,

    to reflect on the state of the union

     we share between my heart and yours...

 

And not just my heart, Lord...

 

I want to study the state of the union

    between my free will 

        and your plan for me;

    between my daily speech 

        and your saving Word;

    between my many thoughts 

        and your holy wisdom;

    between all of my deeds 

        and your law of love;

    between my mortal flesh 

        and your Holy Spirit;

    between what I desire

        and your claim on me;

    between my humble being

        and your life  divine...

 

But to do this, O Lord,

    to assess and reflect on

        the state of our union,

I first must plead and hope and pray

   for the gift of your wisdom,

        your Spirit's grace,

    to faithfully guide me - to the truth -

       of how things are between us

    and the path I must follow,

        in mercy and peace,

            to perfect union with you... 

 

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.
