Father, I ask for refreshing times to come to all who call upon you in Truth.
Please give sleep and rest after a long day in which it is easy to lose a sense of Joy in You.
We will awake with gratefulness for your creation and your Grace and your great Salvation.
We ask for healing for those that are ill and help for those in trouble and distress.
Please give comfort to the hearts of your people.
Let us rest our Hope in you, a great shelter from the storm and a shield from the burning sun.
Give us another day to draw near and bear witness to the Truth.
You will show us the Path of Life.
In your presence IS fullness of Joy.
Thank You Jesus.
Forever in my thought the Lord
Before my face shall stand,
Secure, unmoved, I shall remain,
With Him at my right hand.
My inmost being thrills with joy
And gladness fills my breast;
Because on Him my trust is stayed,
My flesh in hope shall rest.
I know that I shall not be left
Forgotten in the grave,
And from corruption, Thou, O Lord,
Thy holy one wilt save.
The path of life Thou showest me;
Of joy a boundless store
Is ever found at Thy right hand,
And pleasures evermore.
--The Psalter, 1912.
