EVENING PRAYER

Evening Prayer

Slow down, reflect on the day, and make space for prayer before you rest.

Saturday 31 October

This evening

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

Psalm 147:3 · World English Bible

Evening prayer

Father, as this day closes, I worship you as the God whose greatness includes care for wounded hearts. I leave with you the moments I cannot put right tonight. Forgive the sharp words my pain helped provoke, and guide me toward making amends. Grant me rest without requiring every sorrow to be resolved. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
