With thy Spirit,
o God,
ready us
to live love
through all that we are.

By thy Truth
set us free;
sustain & strengthen us
to be peacemakers
in a world that yearns for justice.

For thy Name’s sake,
hear the cries
of the vulnerable;
come near
to redeem and deliver.
Amen.

For God alone
my soul in silence waits...

In God
is my safety
and my honor;
God is my strong rock
and my refuge.

Put your trust in God always,
O people,
pour out your hearts
before the Holy One,
for God is our refuge.

from Psalm 62

Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
the ill that I this day have done;
that with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

O ruler of the universe,
eternal God,
great deeds are they that you have done,
surpassing human understanding.
Your ways are ways
of righteousness & truth...

We worship you,
we give you thanks,
we praise you for your glory.

Give peace;
in all the world.

Amen

In you, O LORD, have I taken refuge...

Incline your ear to me;
make haste to deliver me.
Be my strong rock,
a castle to keep me safe...
for the sake of your Name,
lead me & guide me.

Into your hands I commend my spirit,
for you have redeemed me,
O LORD, O God of truth.

the wisdom from above
is first pure,
then peaceable,
gentle,
willing to yield,
full of mercy and good fruits,
without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.

...a harvest of righteousness
is sown in peace
for those who make peace.

James 3:17-18

O God,
your unfailing providence
sustains the world we live in
& the life we live:
Watch over those,
both night & day,
who work while others sleep,
& grant that we may never forget
that our common life
depends upon each other's toil;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Almighty God,
you have knit together your elect
in one communion & fellowship
in the mystical body of Christ:
Give us grace
so to follow your blessed saints
in all virtuous & godly living,
that we may come to those ineffable joys
you have prepared
for those who truly love you...

Let us look expectantly to a new day,

new possibilities.

The night is dark.
Let our fears of the darkness of the world and of our own lives
rest in you.
The night is quiet.
Let the quietness of your peace enfold us,
all dear to us,
and all who have no peace.

Lord,
it is night.

The night is for stillness.
Let us be still in the presence of God.

It is night after a long day.
What has been done has been done;
what has not been done has not been done;
let it be.

We entreat you, O Lord.

Call and send us, o God,
to seek and serve you today.

Give us
the wisdom & courage
to choose (again & agains)
truth & love over fear & hate.

Free us
from all deception
and every temptation away from you.

Help us
to perceive you
in the faces of our neighbors.

Amen.

Into your hands, O Lord,
I commend my spirit;
For you have redeemed me, O Lord,
O God of truth.
Keep us, O Lord,
as the apple of your eye;
Hide us
under the shadow of your wings.

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Amen.

This day
be within and without me,
lowly and meek,
yet all-powerful.

Christ as a light;
Christ as a shield;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.

O may my soul on thee repose,
and with sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
sleep that shall me more vigorous make
to serve my God when I awake.

Come to me,
all who labor
and are heavy-laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you,
and learn from me;
for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.

—Matthew 11:28-30

Save us from troubled,
restless sleep,
from all ill dreams
your children keep;
so calm our minds
that fears may cease
and rested bodies
wake in peace.

#NightPrayer

God be in my head,
and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes,
and in my looking;
God be in my mouth,
and in my speaking;
God be in my heart,
and in my thinking;
God be at my end,
and at my departing.

Amen.

Glory to God
in the highest!
On earth,
peace—goodwill!

Do justice,
live kindness,
walk humbly with God;
love neighbor as self.

This is the day
grace has given,
let us lift thanks and praise!

Go in peace to
claim hope
serve justice
practice compassion.

Amen.

poured into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit
that has been given to us.

O God, creation’s secret force
yourself unmoved all motion’s source
you from the morn till evening’s ray
through all its changes guide the day:
Grant us, when this short life is past,
the glorious evening that shall last;
that by a holy death attained
eternal glory may be gained.

I will bless you,
O God who gives me counsel;
my heart teaches me,
night after night…

My heart, therefore is glad
and my spirit rejoices;
my body also shall rest in hope.

Look kindly, all-seeing God,
on all who spend this night
in anxiety or pain.
Be with those who will die tonight.
Look kindly on those
who are without food or shelter,
on those who have no love.
Your will is that we
should have life, and share it.
Amen.
