O God, our Father, by whose mercy and might the world turns safely into darkness and returns again to light: we commend to thy care and keeping all the concerns of the day. We give into thy hands our unfinished tasks, our unsolved problems, and our unfulfilled hopes; knowing that only that which thou dost bless shall prosper. To thy great love and protection we commit each other and those we love, knowing that thou alone art our sure Defender. Amen.
