A prayer for sleep....all too appropriate

Nighttime can be a time of worries....list making......I know this is true of myself and my mother especially......a prayer I found from the book of common prayer:

"Be present, most merciful God, and protect us through the silent hours of this night, so that we who are wearied by the changes and chances of this world, may take rest in Your abiding changelessness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen."

Kate,

Thank you for your timely prayer. I was an Episcopalian for 50 years in San Francisco and continue to use the Book of Common Prayer but had not seen this prayer, which is "all too appropriate" to my life style as well.
