Daily Evening Prayer: Embrace Peace and Trust: Evening Prayer Inspired by Psalm 40:8 – October 21, 2025

I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.” — Psalm 40:8

As evening approaches, we turn our hearts toward You, grateful for the gift of this day.

Peace to those who are far off. Peace to those who are near. The day is now past and the night is at hand. Let us pray with one heart and mind. Father of lights, receive the prayer and praise we offer you as our evening sacrifice; make us a light for all the world, delivered by your goodness from all the works of darkness; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen. Father, Thank you for the wisdom found in Psalm 40:8. As we reflect on Your word, we are reminded of Your constant presence in our lives. Lighten our darkness, Lord, we pray: and in your great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of your only Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. May the God of all grace, who has called us to eternal glory in Christ, restore, establish, strengthen us. To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Your Word, found in Psalm 40:8, reminds us to follow You faithfully and hold fast to Your truth.

In a world filled with distractions and challenges, help us keep our focus on what matters most - our relationship with You.
