O Jesus your disciples often found you at prayer, and so they asked you to teach them how to do it. Help me tonight to pray with confidence just as you did. When I am facing my own agony of doubt and fear pray with me so that I find courage and hope when my life leads me to the cross. Take my hand so that my heart stays strong. Most of all through my rest this night strengthen my resolve to pray not my will but yours be done. Amen (adapted Living in Faith, Prayers for Catholics)
Dear God, thank you for today, yesterday and tomorrow; my family, my joys, my sorrows; for all that made me stronger. Amen
