Scripture: Psalm 4:8; Psalm 121:3-4

Lord,
the day is ending, and I bring it to you,
all that was done and left undone, its joys and its weight.

For what was good, I give you thanks.
For where I failed, I ask your mercy.
For the people on my heart tonight, I ask your care.

Quiet the noise that follows me into the dark.
You who watch over me neither slumber nor sleep,
so I can lie down in peace and rest,
for you alone make me dwell in safety.

Into your hands I commend this night.

*Amen.*
