Ok – sorry this is kind of late. We were at camp where it is awkward tyo get on line and I didn’t even have a copy of the lectionary. So an evening prayer -

Dear God,

this day is now coming to it’s end.

For some it has been full of pain and vexation

and even tonight their minds are not at rest.

For me, the day has had a few moments of vexation,

but mostly it has been filled with joy and beauty 

(for which I give you thanks) 

and as I get ready for bed my mind is mostly at rest,

  except for the troubles of the world,

  the places where there is suffering and fighting,

  the ways that the climate is changing and bring harm,

  the ways that governments are abusing their people.

Teach me/us to be satisfied with what I/we have,

  sharing my/our surplus with those in need,

  rather than building bigger barns or renting bigger storage units.

Set my/our mind(s) on the things that are above,

  and clothe me/us with the new self, renewed in your own image,

  no longer Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised,

  barbarian, Scythian, enslaved or free.

Let Christ be all and in all tonight.

Let it be.
