Evening prayer
Day 13 · For those suffering tonight
Good evening. The day is ending. Breathe slowly, set aside what weighs on you and rest in God's presence.
Praise
Psalms 145:17-1917The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. 18The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 19He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
The Word
Psalms 34:18The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
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
For those suffering tonight
God of all comfort, as I get ready for sleep, I remember those who are suffering tonight. I think of the sick in hospitals, of those keeping watch beside a bed, of those mourning a loved one and of those who have no safe place to sleep. I think also of those who are alone with their anguish. You are near to the brokenhearted. Draw near to them now. Give strength and wisdom to the doctors and nurses on duty. Send people to keep them company. And show me tomorrow whom I can help. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
For others
Think of someone who needs your prayer today and name them before God. You can write down your petitions in “My petitions”.
The Lord's Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13Our 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
2 Thessalonians 3:16Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
Rest in peace. God is watching over you.
