We pray for those who are languishing on beds of sickness and have wearisome days and nights assigned them
We are sorry that we are so fondly attached to the things that perish
Encompass our minds this day with thoughts of heaven
Wilt thou take us unto thy keeping this day
Pity our frailties
Inspire us with an abiding gratitude
In the defenseless hours of sleep thou hast preserved us
With the light of another morning we would lift our hearts to thee in grateful acknowledgment of thy goodness
Suffer not our ears to become dull to the cry of misery
