Meditation for the coming night

Into this earthly place of life 
Intense and stressful times rush in.
They heap upon you their surprise and 
Crash with disarming urgency.

Believer, dig deeply into
who you are
in Christ Jesus.

Here is your
Peace of Mind and your Joy.

Do not despair.
Christ in you is the
hope of glory, and the Spirit of God 
works within you.

You have ways to resist the
Discouragement that 
threatens to Overtake the world.
Remember the night will turn into
another day of sun or shadow.  
Put on your Armor
from Head to Feet.
Do not fear
the dark or any pestilence.  

Breathe in the holy life in the day, and 
Pray unceasingly in light and
in the night's long hours.

Listen for the Quietness within you, and rest there. 
In spite of aberrations, noise, and clamor, affirm your trust in God.

Rely upon God who
strengthens and who Loves you. 
His Everlasting Love
expressed in the Beloved Son
invites souls now in this wearying world,
Guarding them for a Brighter day.

This is cause for the release of "Halleluia!" praise 
that honors 
this Wonderful Savior and God.

Amen.
