A prayer for evening -

Dependable God,

daylight has faded and evening dark descends,

just as the glow from Jesus' face must have faded

and he and the three descended the mountain.

But even in the darkness your love surrounds us 

and your strong arms will keep us safe.

We settle into our evening routines

thankful for your presence with us

through daylight and darkness,

through life and death and beyond. 

We rest in you tonight.
