What could you have momentarily lost faith in?

Has something left you feeling left in blackness, despondency,-- left in the dark about something?

Feeling scorched and left-behind?

(music) Paint It, Black (The Rolling Stones, lyrics) [3:46] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4irXQhgMqg

Lyrics

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see your face, painted black
Black as night, black as coal

I wanna see the sun flying high in the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Why don't you try to say a prayer (some prayers) before you go to sleep? Do it for a week to 3 weeks. See if this will 'speak' to whatever is going on deep in your mind at night.

(music) Evening Prayer (from Hänsel and Gretel, David Wigram, boy soprano, lyrics) [1:53] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg9NBMR4sT8

lyrics
When at night I go to sleep
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding
Two my feet are guiding
Two are on my right hand
Two are on my left hand
Two who warmly cover
Two who o'er me hover
Two to whom 'tis given
To guide my steps to heaven.

.....

ALL ENGLISH LYRICS

I pray you'll be our eyes and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise, in times when we don't know.
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.

The light that you give us
I pray we'll find your light
will stay in our hearts
And hold it in our hearts
Reminding us
When stars go out each night
That in my prayer
You are the everlasting star

Let this be our prayer
There's so much faith
When shadows fill our day

Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

We dream of a world with no more violence
A world of justice and hope
Grasp your neighbors hand
As a symbol of peace and brotherhood

The strength that you give us
We ask that life be kind
Is the wish
And watch us from above
That everyone may find love

We hope each soul will find
In and around himself
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Need to find a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

And the faith that
you've lit inside us
I feel will save us.

(music) The Lord's Prayer (Andrea Bocelli, lyrics) [4:35] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXBooqLg0n4

lyrics
Our Father, which art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On Earth, as it is in Heaven

Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory
Forever - Amen.

(music) The Great Invocation (New Troubadors) [1:51] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHUJQbGA9-c

The Great Invocation

From the Point of Light within the Mind of God
Let Light stream forth into the minds of men
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the Point of Love within the Heart of God
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the center where The Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men-
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power
Restore the Plan on Earth.
