Title: Evening Prayer


1
Evening Prayer
  • Tuesday, October 14th

2
Opening Sentence and Prayer
  • Let us pray
  • O God who loves everything that lives,
  • and whose immortal spirit is in all created life,
  • free us from thoughts that would separate us from
    you,
  • from words that harm the soul
  • and from errors that invite darkness into the
    world.

3
  • From inner confusions over what is good
  • grant us a clarity of vision,
  • that we may see your creative wisdom
  • pervading all things
  • and each day making life new.

4
  • In the stillness of evening,
  • let us glimpse within us and among us
  • the light that is an emanation of your glory
  • that we may be renewed once again,
  • O God,
  • in the image of your goodness.

5
  • Holy God,
  • holy and mighty,
  • holy and immortal,
  • have mercy upon us.
  • Silence

Song for reflection

Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession
  • We give thanks , O God,
  • for all that is good
  • within us,
  • between us,
  • and around us,
  • for the beauty of the skys constellations,
  • for patterns of kindness and creativity among
    people,
  • for generosities that shine in human lives,

8
  • all these things conceived by your wisdom
  • and from the beginning brought forth in love.
  • We give thanks that life has flowed from you
  • and to you returns,
  • that we are born not of mere chance
  • to pass like traces of a cloud,
  • but to share in the eternity of your life,
  • and that the world is ruled
  • not by earths elements and heavens stars,
  • but by the wisdom and greatness that created
    them.

9
  • Protect us and all people, O God,
  • from destructive forces within and without,
  • from powers that see no meaning
  • beyond possessing and enjoying.
  • And grant us eyes to discern
  • the great spirits of our time
  • in who love and wisdom are found,
  • so that as we seek new beginnings
  • for ourselves and for our world we may be guided
    by their understanding
  • and by their hope.
