O heavenly Father, I praise and thank you for the peace of the night.  I praise and thank you for this new day.  I praise and thank you for all your goodness and faithfulness throughout my life.  You have granted me many blessings; now let me also accept what is hard from your hand.  You will lay on me no more than I can bear.  You make all things work together for good for your children.  (Dietrich Bonhoefer)
