Evening prayer #1

Watch, dear Lord,
with those who
wake or weep tonight,
and let your angels
watch over those
who sleep.

Tend the sick.
Refresh the weary.
Sustain the dying.
Calm the suffering.
Pity the distressed.
We ask this
for your love’s sake.

Amen

St. Augustine of Hippo
(354-430)

About me

It’s my privilege as Presbytery “Prayer Promoter” to prompt and resource prayer in our Presbytery and beyond.

Where prayer is concerned, we are all learners. I hope the posts and pages on this website will help you and me enter more fully into the adventure of a prayerful life.
