bedtime prayer

His master replied, "Well done good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness." ~ Mathew 25: 21

Dear Lord,

Here I am

At the end of another day

On my knees with

Mixed tears I begin to pray.

You reign in the heavens

And walked on the seas.

In all Creation

You touched me.

Sometimes I fear

The rhythm of my feet

Because the world shuns

Marching at a different beat.

I offer up my heart

To be transformed…renewed

A warring mind

Needs your grace ever true.

So, as I lay me

Down to sleep.

You alone my

Soul will keep.

And if I rise

Before the Sun.

I yearn to hear,

“Faithful Servant, well done.”

Amen
