Evening Scripture
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
Psalm 107:1-9
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
Hebrews 12:14
Lord, show me the ways in which I have sinned against you in thought, word or deed today. Am I striving for peace with everyone? Give me a willing heart to confess these sins to you and turn from them.
Jesus, I thank you that you have told me there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! (Romans 8:1) I trust now that I am forgiven.
Refrain for the Evening
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
Revelation 22:17
Closing Prayer
In peace I now lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety (Psalm 4:8). Grant rest tonight, I pray. And grant that tomorrow I would again seek your Kingdom and your glory in all the earth. Amen.
