Sadly today Tammuz 17 (Jewish calendar) is the day of 5 listed tragic events to befall the Jews/Israel. 1. Moses smashes the tablets after witnessing the golden calf. 2. Temple services are halted 3 weeks before the Babylonian destruction of the 1st Temple. 3. Walls of Jerusalem are breached by the Romans.4. The Roman general Apostomus burns the Torah. (Bible)
5. A idol is placed in the Holy Temple. The day (and period) is regarded as a time of “mourning”. However it is also taught that one of the ways to “correct” the tragedies is to increase the giving of charity – which doesn’t have to be of a financial nature – charity includes the giving and receiving of friendship/comfort/advice etc – IE be a nice fellow.
So going against the “established” norm, and since I’m not Jewish, I thought I’d go with the spirit and finish my southern rock/blues/soul sharing (charity) with a “golden oldie”. Nice

Evening Prayer For Forgiveness

Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me through this day and Lord, forgive me for the times when I have wandered outside Your best will for me, instead of trusting You implicitly.
 
Thank You, that You are such a gracious Shepherd to me and that You come and rescue me even when I lose my way and stray from the path that You have laid out for me.
 
As I look back over today, I know Lord that there were things that I should have said and done differently, and times when I reacted in a manner that was not honouring Your holy name. Forgive me I pray, but thank You, Father, that You always faithfully prepared to gently bring me back to Yourself.
 
Give me a good night’s sleep I pray, knowing that there is no condemnation because I am in Christ, and may I wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to do Your will. In Jesus’ name I pray,
 
Amen.

Evening Prayer For Future Guidance

Heavenly Father, as I lie down to sleep tonight, I pray that You would guard my sleeping and protect my mind from wandering thoughts and unnecessary planning. Teach me to wait for Your perfect timing and not to try to plan my future in my own strength.
 
Lord, I know that You have scheduled every day of my life. Help me to trust You in all things and rely on You to lead me along the straight path and guide me in the direction that You would have me to go.
 
Give me patience to wait for Your perfect timing, and may I not trust in my own abilities and scheming, but rather rest in Your love and trust my future into Your hands.
 
And so now Lord, I commit this night to you, asking that I would rest soundly and wake refreshed and strong to do Your bidding. This I ask in Jesus’ precious name,
 
Amen.
