An Evening Prayer for Monday, April 4, 2011

"Our Father, we thank you for bringing us safely through another day.  As this day draws to a close, we ask that your peace will descend upon our hearts, giving us respite from all worry and care.  We entrust into your loving care those who are hurting due to various causes--sickness, loss, pain, despair.  Whatever the need, be their solace, comfort, and strength.  And may we rest tonight knowing that in your loving care, all will be well, in this life or in the next.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen."
