Night Meditation
Oh, how easy, my beloved God, do I believe
that I am in charge of my life,
that this day has succeeded because of my efforts.
With humility I acknowledge that you have been the sacred source of the good that I have done and the evil I have avoided.
To raise that awareness, I now ask your gracious assistance as I pray for the following intentions (please name your intentions and concerns here.)
Tired of body but full of gratitude,
I prepare to enter into the healing embrace of sleep.
May this night be salve for both body and soul;
May it fill me with energy and grant rest to my mind.
Blessed are you, O Harvest of My Heart,
Sacred Source of All Life,
Ever-watchful Guardian of my sleep.
