Celtic Prayer

I've been using a Celtic Psalter in my morning and evening centering. Last night's prayer touched my heart and I want to share it with you.

In the quiet of the night

may I know your presence, O God.

At the ending of the day

may my soul be alive to your nearness.

Amidst the tiredness that overcomes my body

and the tensions that linger in my mind,

amidst the uncertainties and fears

that haunt me in the darkness of the night,

let me know your presence, O God,

let my soul be alive to your nearness.
