I take off the business of the day, Burden Bearer,
and hang it on your shoulders;
I take off the cares of tomorrow, Timeless One,
and lay them in your presence;
I take off the anxieties of the night, Prince of Peace,
and rest in your deep peace.
 
An Examen (suggested format)
 
Where have I noticed God today?
What blessings have I appreciated?
Where do I need reconciliation with God and others?
What are the challenges that invite me to growth?
Where is God calling me and for what do I need to ask?
 
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and forever.  Amen.
 
Lord, your gaze has held us all through the day.
Tonight, as quiet descends and sleep arises,
may you, who never sleeps,
continue your loving gaze on us.  Amen.
