The first mediations was written by the Rt. Rev. Gordon Light, Bishop of the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior. (Yep... that's where I'm at!) The prayer comes from the New Zealand prayer book.
The prayer in this weeks Advent Musing really spoke to me, I invite you to read and spend some time meditating on it.
Lord it is night.
The night is for stillness.
Let us be still in the presence of God.
It is night after a long day.
What has been done has been done;
what has not been done has not been done.
Let it be.
The night is dark.
Let our fears of the darkness of the world
and of our own lives
rest in you.
The night is quiet.
Let the quietness of your peace enfold us,
all dear to us,
and all who have no peace.
The night heralds the dawn.
Let us look expectantly
to a new day,
new joys,
new possibilities.
In your name we pray. Amen.
