A prayer to accompany you as day changes into night.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

O God our Creator,
\nby whose mercy and might
\nthe world turns safely into darkness
\nand returns again to light:
\nwe give into your hands
\nour unfinished tasks,
\nour unsolved problems
\nand our unfulfilled hopes,
\nknowing that only those things which you bless
\nwill prosper. <\/p>\n

To your great love and protection
\nwe commit each other,
\nand all for whom we have prayed,
\nknowing that you alone are our sure defender;
\nthrough Jesus Christ our Lord.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
