I'm writing a few basic prayers to say with my children throughout the day. Here is the evening prayer, based on Psalm 4:
Lord tonight we call to you
You are right in all you do
Hear our prayer, forgive our sin,
Bring us close to you again
Keep us quiet in our beds
With happy hearts and peaceful heads
Stay close by us through the night
Safe and sound till morning light
Amen.
bal·last: n. weighty material used in sailboats to provide stability against lateral forces on the sail.

midday prayer
I'm writing a few basic prayers to say with my children throughout the day. Here is the midday prayer, based on Psalm 121:
Lord we turn our eyes to you
We need your help in all we do
You made the world so you know
The best way for us to go
Watching over one and all
You won't let us slip or fall
Inside, outside, everywhere
We are always in your care
Amen.
Lord we turn our eyes to you
We need your help in all we do
You made the world so you know
The best way for us to go
Watching over one and all
You won't let us slip or fall
Inside, outside, everywhere
We are always in your care
Amen.

morning prayer
I'm writing a few basic prayers to say with my children throughout the day. Here is the morning prayer, based on Psalm 5:
Jesus hear us as we pray
We come to you to start this day
Because you love us we are saved
Please make us holy, strong, and brave
Protect and bless us all day long
And fill us with your joyful song
Give us favor that we might
Shine into this world your light.
Amen.
