A Prayer for Serenity in the Midnight Hours

Find peace and rest tonight with this beautiful Prayer for Serenity in the Midnight Hours. A comforting night prayer to help you release stress, calm your mind, and sleep peacefully in God’s presence.

Perfect for reflection and quiet moments before bed.

God, I’m here in the quiet of this late hour, looking for some peace.

My body is tired, but I’m grateful you’re with me. The day keeps running through my mind—the things I said, the things I should have done, the worries I can’t shake.

Help me remember that your peace is real, even when my brain won’t stop.

I need help letting go. I hold onto so much that I can’t fix or change. Settle the anxious parts of me. Replace my spiraling thoughts with the simple knowledge that you’re here.

You’re my safe place, my comfort, the one thing I can trust when everything else feels shaky. When I’m afraid, when I doubt—you’re stronger than all of that.

I’m putting down my day now. Every worry, every prayer I didn’t know how to say—I’m handing it to you. Help me actually rest tonight. Quiet my mind. Give me strength for tomorrow.

Protect my sleep and let me feel your peace while I’m lying here.

The moon reminds me you never stop watching. The night breeze reminds me you love me. Thank you for holding me steady when the world tilts, and for being here through these long nights.

I trust you with this. I’m going to rest now.

In Jesus’s name. Amen.

Bible Verse:
