Evening Prayer

I was about to start another inauguration post when I got some more potentially sad news about the health of a friend’s loved one. With so many people close to me in need of medical miracles and hope this week, I offer this prayer that my pastor often closes our services with:

Keep watch, dear Lord,
With those who work, or watch or weep this night,
And give your angels charge over those who sleep.
Tend the sick, Lord Christ;
Give rest to the weary,
Bless the dying,
Soothe the suffering,
Pity the afflicted,
Shield the joyous;
And all for your love’s sake.
Amen.

From the Book of Common Prayer.
