Evening prayer

Day 20 · Nothing will separate me from you

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

Praise

⁶Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. ⁷Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. ⁸The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

The Word

Romans 8:38-39

³⁸For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

Nothing will separate me from you

Eternal God, sometimes the future frightens me. I worry about what might happen with my health, with my work, with the people I love. I don't know what is coming. But I know one thing that does not change: nothing can separate me from your love in Christ Jesus. Neither things present nor things to come, neither life nor death. Tonight I hold on to that certainty. When my mind imagines the worst, remind me that your love holds me up in every circumstance. I place myself in your hands with everything I don't know, and I sleep secure in your love. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

For others

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

2 Thessalonians 3:16

Now 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.
