Evening Prayers
Prayers that mark the close of day with thanks, wonder, and a request for safekeeping.
These evening prayers move through the last hours of the day in three ways: reflecting on the wonder of creation, asking for cover from harm as darkness falls, and simply giving thanks for what the day held.
