A Harmony Pastor Feedback: NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 5/4

Ship us, Lord, from each evil,
graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the assistance
of your mercy,
we could also be at all times free from sin
and secure from all misery…
We pray these phrases
each time we collect at your desk, Lord,
once we ask for:
– deliverance from each evil
– peace in the present day
– freedom from all sin
– and a life secure from all misery
We ask for lots, Lord!
And as today ends,
I am considering we must always, pray these phrases
– each night time!
These 4 petitions sum up so nicely
a lot of what we want from you,
a lot of what we lengthy for:
the deliverance, peace, freedom and security
that solely you may supply, solely you can provide…
So, tonight, Lord, I pray that you just ship us from evil:
– the evil of racism, poverty and war,
of consumerism, greed and selfishness,
of assaults on the dignity of human life
Ship us, Lord, from each evil…
Tonight I pray for peace in our personal occasions, Lord,
– peace in our world, in our nation,
in our communities, streets and neighborhoods
– peace in Ukraine
– peace in our households – prior to later
– peace in our minds, in our hearts, in our souls,
peace with you, Lord, and peace with our selves
Graciously grant us peace, Lord, in our personal day…
Tonight I pray that you just preserve us free from sin, Lord:
– freed from temptation and its wily methods
– freed from sin that is grow to be a behavior
– freed from the sins of omission and silence
– freed from the sins we discover hardest to confess
– freedom from something and every little thing
that separates us from you and our neighbor
Hold us free from sin, Lord…
And tonight, Lord, I pray that you just preserve us secure from all misery:
– the misery of fear, doubt and concern
of illness, sickness and ache
of tyranny, terrorism and struggle
of tension, melancholy and grief
of starvation, homelessness and wish
the misery of discouragement, loneliness and despair
Hold us secure from all misery, Lord…
I do know, Lord – that is asking rather a lot!
However that is what we want – and you’re all now we have:
you’re our greatest, our solely hope…
With humble hearts we pray for such nice items,
we pray for the grace that is yours to provide:
– the grace to show away from evil
each time, wherever we encounter it;
– the grace to work for peace now,
peace on the earth, in our nation,
in our cities and in our properties
– the grace to show away from sin
and stroll the trail of your knowledge, phrase and fact
– the grace to show to you once we’re in misery
and supply refuge to all who come to us in want…
Ship us, Lord, from each evil,
graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the assistance
of your mercy,
we could also be at all times free from sin
and secure from all misery…
And in that very same spirit, Lord, we pray:
defend us whereas we’re nonetheless awake
and watch over us as we sleep
that awake, we would watch with you
and asleep, relaxation in your peace…
Amen.
