:: an evening prayer ::

Lord, you have always given

bread for the coming day;

and though I am poor,

today I believe.

Lord, you have always given

strength for the coming day;

and though I am weak,

today I believe.

Lord, you have always given

peace for the coming day;

and though of anxious heart,

today I believe.

Lord, you have always kept me

safe in trials;

and now, tried as I am,

today I believe.

Lord, you have always marked

the road for the coming day;

and though it may be hidden,

today I believe.

Lord, you have always lightened

this darkness of mine;

and though the night is here,

today I believe.

Lord, you have always spoken

when time was ripe;

and though you be silent now,

today I believe.
