Evening prayer

Day 1 · Thank you for this day

Good evening. The day is ending. Breathe slowly, set aside what weighs on you and rest in God's presence.

Praise

¹²What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? ¹³I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. ¹⁴I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

The Word

Psalms 92:1-2

¹A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: ²To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

Review of the day

Look back on your day with God, unhurried. What can you thank Him for? Is there something you did wrong that you want to place in His hands? What worries you about tomorrow? Tell Him in your own words.

Prayer

Thank you for this day

Most High Lord, before I close my eyes I want to thank you for this day. This morning your mercy greeted me, and now, at night, I want to tell of your faithfulness. Thank you for bread, for work, for the people you put in my path and for the strength that did not fail me. Thank you also for the care I didn't even notice. Forgive the times today when I overlooked your gifts. May my last word of this day be praise and not complaint. Receive my grateful heart and keep watch over my rest. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Blessing
