"Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch or weep this night,
and give your angels charge over those who sleep.
Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary,
bless the dying, soothe the suffering,
pity the afflicted, shield the joyous;
and all for your love's sake. Amen." - Book of Common Prayer
I have found this prayer to be very moving and helpful in my own journey. It is part of Compline (prayers at the end of the day) from the Book of Common Prayer. I love the simplicity, but incredible depth of the words in the prayer. I believe it is most useful when one doesn't have the words to pray, but we feel the urge to pray for others.
May it be a blessing to you and your family.
Living in Grace
