NIGHT PRAYER

Comfort me with Your love O God
Wrap me up in Your strong embrace
Shelter me from the storm O Lord
Envelop me in Your tender care
By day I pour out my heartbreak to You
By night I give you my racing thoughts
In You I take refuge
In You I will not be afraid
For you hold me strong, You hold me safe
Calm my fearful heart O God
Still my anxious mind O Lord
For all my life is found in You
All my being is given to You
All my hope begins in You

I found this prayer on Facebook and tought it was a beautiful way to start the new prayer thread.

There was a beautiful picture with it too, but I don’t know how to transfer that.

A prayer of St Augustine for tonight...

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight,
and give Your Angels and Saints charge over those who sleep.
Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones.
And all for Your love's sake. Amen.

Despite having a day of blessings as well as issues I'm feeling so devastated I cannot rest. I've an appointment first thing which I'm dreading. Another one.

Thankyou for the prayer!

hope it goes well.

bad night. up for over an hour with child.

and it is now causing difficulties

Prayers for the intentions of those on this thread, especially those with health issues.

We are in week 4 of a teenage boy being missing where I live - there's no sign of him and everyone's so worried. Prayers please for his safe return and for strength for his family.

Thank you. I'll remember him in my prayers.

My appointment this morning I was triggered the whole time with my PTSD it was dreadful. I didn't rest yesterday or last night and am really unwell, I tried resting after but found I couldn't. Maybe later.

Thank you Becca hope it goes well 🍀

Sorry Becca just realised you had the appt. Hope you are resting now.

Just about to!

Praying tonight for...
Becca for peace of mind and rest tonight after a traumatic few days;
BES for a more restful night for you too;
Forestiera and for the missing boy in her area and all who love him, who must be so desperately worried about him;
MHD for better health;
and for anyone reading this, whether you post or lurk... I am praying for you all.

Lord, in this time of waiting, grant us patience.
Help us to use this time wisely,
to reflect,
to take stock,
to open our hearts to you,
and to wonder at your coming to meet us
wherever we may be.
May our expectation draw us to you,
inspire us,
and fill us with joy,
that we may know you better,
and reflect your love in our lives.
Amen

tuo Thankyou. I'm so glad i checked my "im on" before heading to do my night prayers and bed.

i do not like waiting, two feckingyears for forms, now waiting for the appointment letter to come through

Please give thanks I could get out today to get food. It was really difficult but, I DID IT!!

Yay! well done!

i used the convenience store so I could go home and eat breakfast

off to do school runs and performances etc. it will all be over by tomorrow evening, never to be repeated again.

One performance down, one to go.

Praying for a peaceful night. For all of us.

From today's Northumbria Compline:

The peace of God
be over us to shelter us,
under us to uphold us,
about us to protect us,
behind us to direct us,
ever with us to save us.
Amen

Can I join? We are in the midst of infertility treatments and have just found out we have to move in about 5 months. I am beyond stressed, but gathering comfort from the beautiful prayers

You are very welcome Iaminclined. I hope you got some sleep after you posted - that was quite an unearthly hour to be awake and worriting.

the first half of hte night was good, the second half was squished.

I need some shopping, and sleep and to get to the school play.

Like bes the first part of mine was ok but I got cramp in my leg (I fell alseep whilst doing a prayerful meditation on my back which isn't good for my condition) and couldn't get back to sleep for pain and worry for ages. I dropped off and my alarm went.

GP, meds and I may try resting this afternoon if I need to. Got a lot to do over the next few days, including a meeting regarding a complaint which I need to be mentally stronger for (it's tomorrow morning so unlikely I'll be strong enough by then!).

Feeling completely washed out and meh.
Meanwhile there's a storm outside my window!

Somethings fell on the floor this morning uncovering some books I forgot I had, on top of one was a letter from my godmother from years ago and close friend who ended her life this year - the book was about coping after suicide. I don't know if I comforted or upset..

another play.

I'd appreciate prayers for a meeting I have tomorrow, and, that I can cope without breaking down. Learnt today I've very likely lost what little support I was allowed by asking for mental health support (which has not only been refused but has stopped other support as well).

Praying for you Becca. Hope you can find the strength to get through x
