In the Silence of the Evening

In this quiet that envelops everything, I welcome the gift of rest.

Lord, thank you for every step taken today and for the small acts of love received and given.

I feel my weariness and the fragility of my heart; I entrust my fears and uncertainties to you.

Grant serenity to my mind and peace to my spirit.

Illuminate the night, make my sleep light, and strengthen my hope for tomorrow.

Watch over me and my loved ones, protect those who are alone or in difficulty.

Accompany us with your silent light.

Blessed be our night.

Amen. 🌿
