Midday Prayer

I have stilled and quieted my soul;
like a weaned child with its mother ,
like a weaned child is my soul within me …
put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.        
(Psalm 131:2-3, NIV)
 
Pause in silence
 
All shall be well,
and all shall be well,
and all manner of things shall be well.
(Prayer of Julian of Norwich)
 
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.
 
The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ,
the extravagant love of God,
the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit,
be with all of you.  Amen.
(2 Corinthians 13:13, The Message)
