in the quiet and Stillness of the night when the hours pass between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. there lies a mystery known to those who seek the face of the Lord for this time is set apart a sacred moment when the soul finds itself lifted free from the distractions of the world and Heaven's Gates seem closer to the faithful heart as the psalmist declares enter his gates with Thanksgiving and his courts with praise Psalm 104 let us then with a heart full of reverence draw near to the Lord offering praise and supplication as I a
humble servant of Christ write to you I am moved by the depth of God's mercy and the riches of his grace let us begin with praise for there is no greater offering we can Render unto God than that of a heart filled with gratitude it is in Thanksgiving that we align ourselves with the divine order acknowled in that every good and perfect gift comes from the father above CS Lewis reminds us that gratitude looks to the past and love to the present fear avarice lust and ambition look ahead let us then dwell in gratitude seeking
the love of the almighty that sustains Us in the present oh Lord Our God you are the king of kings and the Lord of lords the almighty who Reigns over all creation you are the alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end and there is none like you before you all the powers of Heaven tremble and all the creatures of Earth bow in adoration we lift our voices in Praise exalting Your holy name for you alone are worthy your steadfast love endures forever and your mercies are renewed every morning as the Jew upon the
grass oh Father in your infinite wisdom you devised A Plan of Salvation before the foundations of the earth were laid in the fullness of time you sent forth your son our Lord Jesus Christ who for our sake humbled himself taking on the form of a servant obedient even unto death on a cross by his sacrifice we are redeemed and by his resurrection we have the hope of eternal life oh wondrous love oh ineffable Grace for this O Lord we offer you our unending praise C us Lewis in reflecting on this Divine mystery once said the
Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God truly this is the profound beauty of the gospel God drawing us into his eternal family as we stand in your holy presence we are mindful of our weakness and Frailty we are but clay in the hands of the Potter and it is your holy hand that shapes and molds us according to your Divine Purpose oh Lord fashion our hearts our minds and our souls that we may become vessels of Honor Fit for Your Kingdom guide us in your Paths of righteousness and
let us not be swayed by the Temptations of this world Lewis wisely observed relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done thus we ask for your strength O Lord to trust in you and new each day father as we gather together in prayer Our Hearts United in the spirit we lift up to you the needs of your people cleanse us O Lord with the purifying fire of your Holy Spirit As We Lay Our Lives before you may you reveal yourself to us in new and wondrous
ways that we may grow in the knowledge of your truth and walk more Faithfully in your ways let us remember as Lewis noted that the Christian does not think God will love us because we are good but that God will make us good because he loves us now my brothers and sisters as we continue in prayer let us turn to the Lord with Contrition of heart for it is written if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9 who Among
Us can stand before the face of the Lord with pride who has not stumbled and fallen short of his glory as CS Lewis once humbly acknowledged I pray because I can't help myself I pray because I'm helpless I pray because the need flows out of me all the time waking and sleeping it doesn't change God it changes me let us too come before the Lord with a similar recognition of our need for his grace oh merciful father we acknowledge our sins before you for we have strayed like lost sheep we have failed to love you
with all our heart soul mind and strength and we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves forgive us O Lord for the times when we have chosen the darkness over the light when we have pursued the desires of the flesh rather than the fruits of the spirit yet in your boundless Grace you have provided a way of return through the blood of your son we come before You O Lord with hearts humbled and Spirits contrite asking for the Forgiveness that only you can give blot out our transgressions and cleanse us from all iniquity restore to
us the joy of your salvation and renew a right Spirit within us oh Lord may your grace be sufficient for us and may we Rise From the Ashes of our sin to walk in newness of Life CS Lewis poignantly stated we are not merely imperfect creatures who must be improved we are Rebels who must lay down our arms help us oh Lord to surrender fully to your will oh Lord creator of all things visible and invisible cleanse thou me from all iniquity for thou oh God art merciful and of tender compassion and it is by
thy Divine Mercy that I may approach thy holy Throne I come before thee in Humble repentance seeking not my own Merit but trusting solely in thine infinite grace which thou Hast manifested ed through thy son our Lord Jesus Christ oh Lord strengthen me thy servant that I may resist the Wilds of the evil one and the Temptations which beset me in this Mortal life guide my feet oh God along the narrow path of righteousness and help me to ever remember that thy love is without bounds and that through Christ the Yoke of sin is lifted
and true peace is found as thou Hast forgiven me so so also do I forgive those who have wronged me Grant unto me oh Lord the grace of thy holy spirit that I may walk in humility and with a heart free from bitterness strengthen me with thy mercy o father that I may Echo the words of Our Lord upon the cross saying father forgive them for they know not what they do CS Lewis once wrote to be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable able because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you may this truth
guide our hearts as we seek to forgive those who have wronged us Grant O Lord that I may bear the image of thy son in all my dealings showing forth the love of Christ even unto those who wrong me fill me oh Lord with thy spirit that the fruit of temperance and longsuffering may abound in me that I may be slow to speak in anger and Swift to listen with compassion make me oh Lord more like unto thee who art the Fountain of all Mercy heal the wounds of my heart oh gracious father as I
release all remnants of malice injury and resentment into thy hands and if it be thy will May broken relationships be restored and reconciled in the name of thy beloved Son Jesus Christ father May thy forgiveness and boundless love be reflected in my life that I may be a light in the midst of Darkness to those around me even now as I lift my voice in prayer with all the faithful I give thee thanks for the hearts that are turning unto thee for thou O Lord art the god spoken of by the prophet Micah who paronthi
equity and passeth over the trans transgression of the remnant of thy people Thou Art not wrathful forever but Delight Us in Mercy yay thou Wilt again have compassion upon us and Wilt cast all our sins into the depths of the sea great art thou oh God and great is thy faithfulness each day thy mercies are renewed and for this we give thanks trusting in the Blessed hope of eternal life which thou Hast prepared for us in Christ I give thee thanks for thy pardon and forgiveness knowing that thou art ever gracious slow to anger and
rich in love oh Lord fill our days with thy peace our hearts with thy love and our lives with the joy of thy presence in the precious name of Jesus Christ Our Redeemer and Lord I pray amen now dear friends let us offer together a prayer of Thanksgiving for it is meet and write to give thanks unto the Lord at all times the Apostle hath taught us in everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you 1 Thessalonians 5:18 let us therefore bow our heads and lift our hearts in
