O Father in heaven, grant to us that with a meek and lowly heart we may endure your fatherly corrections, and submit ourselves quietly to your wise discipline. Grant that we may bear patiently the troubles of this mortal life, neither rebelling against you, nor turning away from your instructions; so that in the end we may be made wise and humble, and obtain the blessing of those who, with patience and strength wait upon the Lord, for it is in his name we pray. Amen
"After midnight we're gonna let it all hang out. After midnight we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout. We're gonna cause talk and suspicion, Give 'em an exhibition Find out what it is all about" - Eric Clapton. --- After midnight, we may do things that we would not do before. We often use the cover of darkness and solitude as a space for moral escapism. God Before Midnight reminds us that there is no escape and very often it's best to turn out the light and go to sleep.
