God of peace and rest,
Dare we even talk about
how we lay there at night
unable to find the rest we long for?
Our minds race
Our minds race
about what has been or
what could be or
what we can’t imagine will happen.
Or our minds are quiet
and the silence is deafening.
In the silence of the night
In the silence of the night
everything that we’ve held back
comes crashing through.
Instead of sleep
Instead of sleep
we find anxiety.
The darkness feels like
The darkness feels like
it’s overtaking us.
Bring sleep, dear God, bring rest.
Calm our minds and our spirits.
Hold our burdens.
We give the past, present, and future for you to hold.
May your loving embrace warm and
Bring sleep, dear God, bring rest.
Calm our minds and our spirits.
Hold our burdens.
We give the past, present, and future for you to hold.
May your loving embrace warm and
comfort us as we wait for rest.
Amen
