I had a long day with three follow-up appointments related to my recent stay in the hospital. I’m pleased to tell you that it was a very good day and I continue to be grateful for the positive direction my treatment and health are taking! But it was a long day, so just this simple prayer…
for the blessings of this day
we give you thanks and offer praise…
on the burdens of this day
we pray your healing and your grace…
for the ways we failed today
we plead for mercy and your pardon…
in the day that lies ahead
we ask your presence and your peace…
Protect us, Lord while we’re awake
and watch over us while we sleep
that awake, we might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace…
The setting sun has gone away
The day has turned to night
And now dear Lord to you I pray
For tomorrow’s morning light
Good night, dear Lord
I thank you for today
I pray, dear Lord
Give me another day
The day you gave me today was bright
Showed me the way to do what’s right
Good night, dear Lord
Let me see a new day dawning
Good night, dear Lord
Let me see you in the morning
Good night
