Evening Prayer – 21 September 2019 – Lord, Teach Us to Pray
Often times when we are hiking in Rocky, we are overwhelmed by the wonder and majesty of God’s creation. At such times, the silent wonder is a prayer of thanksgiving and awe.
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
Lord, you have taught us to pray
It isn’t a formulaic or rote response
It is a prayer from the heart
It is about seeking enough for today
It is about peace for today
It is about energy to serve you
Lord help us to serve you
To serve with energy, intelligence, imagination, and love
To serve without counting the cost
Lord equip us for your service
Teach us to be humble and selfless
Teach us to serve like Jesus
Now as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
