Evening Prayer

As the day closes,
I centre again on the Presence of the Three
I worship you God,
the keeper of my soul.
I embrace you Jesus,
my constant companion.
I inhale you Spirit,
the promise of the world to come.
 
Pause in silence
 
As I listen to your word
may I hear your gentle whisper.
 
Readings from the Lectionary
 
May your word be in my sleeping,
my dreaming and my waking this night,
that it may watch over and replenish my soul.
 
Time for reflection
 
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.
 
Silence or Prayer for others
 
I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O Lord,
make me dwell in safety.  Amen.
(Psalm 4:8, NIV)
