Good Evening Prayer Pilgrims and Dearly Loved Ones,
Happy end of Sunday! Yes, dear ones we are coming to the close of another weekend and many of us may feel a bit cheated and tired. Tonight we are having a brief time of prayer, vigil, and meditation. Rest is so important for our physical and spiritual lives. If we don't have enough rest we my find ourselves not having enough energy to serve God, live our lives, and serve our family members nearby and far away. We need to rest and get ready for the week ahead.
Be Still and know That I am God.
Be Still and know That I am.
Be Still and know.
Be Still.
Be.
Peace be Still.

Peace be Still.
Loving God we thank you for this day of Sabbath rest the gift of sleep. Before we slumber we light our candles and pray for all of our family members who are facing any struggle or anxiety this week.
We pray that we may give ourselves over to kind words and loving deeds in service to our family members. We pray for peace in this fragile and broken world that has been fraught with war, disaster, and terror. We pray that we may find ourselves rising to help others in Jesus Name and spread the Good News that God is Love. We take time in the silence of our hearts to pray for______________ and add our thanksgivings__________________. As our season of prayer continues we pray this night for the peoples and nations of the Middle East, and these countries: Burundi, Central America, Ecuador, Japan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Afghanistan. We pray for all those who have lost their lives this weekend and those who mourn their loss. We pray for refugees, captives, and victims of human trafficking. Let us be light bearers and show and love others. We pray that we may be CALM (Compassionate, Accepting, Loving, and Merciful) this night and always. Amen.
