This is the evening prayer from my Celtic Daily Prayer book from the Northumbria Community and I think it is a helpful and healing prayer, especially in times of trial and struggle. We used it in our Solas gathering last Sunday night and when I read it, it helps me to direct my heart in joy to the Lord in the midst of my own trials. So I hope that it will help others. Here it is:

Lord, You have always given
bread for the coming day;
and though I am poor;
today I believe.

Lord, You have always given
strength for the coming day;
and though I am weak,
today I believe.

Lord, You have always given
peace for the coming day;
and though of anxious heart,
today I believe.

Lord, You have always kept me
safe in trials;
and now, tried as I am,
today I believe

Lord, You have always marked
the road for the coming day;
and though it may be hidden,
today I believe.

Lord, You have always spoken
when time was ripe;
and though You be silent now,
today I believe.
