End your day with peace and calm through this Prayer for Still Waters and Peaceful Sleep. Invite God’s presence to quiet your mind, lift your burdens, and soothe your heart.
Let His love and protection surround you, bringing deep, restful sleep and renewal for your body, mind, and spirit

God, the day is done and everything’s finally quiet. I’m coming to You tonight because I really need rest—not just sleep, but that deep peace that only comes from You.
I’m tired of the constant noise in my head, the worries that won’t let up. Tonight, I’m letting it all go and trusting You to handle what I can’t.
You’ve always been the one who brings me back to calm when everything feels chaotic. When I’m with You, the fear doesn’t feel so big, and my racing thoughts actually slow down.
Just hold me close tonight. Let me feel safe enough to really rest, to let sleep do what it’s supposed to do—heal me and help me start fresh.
If I start spinning out about tomorrow, pull me back. Help me remember that whatever comes, You’ll be there, and Your grace will be enough. I don’t have to control everything.
I don’t have to figure it all out right now. Help me trade this heaviness for lightness, this anxiety for actual calm, and these doubts for real trust.
Let my dreams be good ones tonight—hopeful, clear, peaceful. In this quiet, remind me that You’re here. That I’m not doing any of this alone.
Restore whatever’s worn down in me—body, mind, soul—so when morning comes, I can face it with fresh strength.
Thank You for being my safe place, my peace, my rest. I’m putting this night in Your hands, trusting that when I wake up, You’ll still be there.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Psalm 23:2-3 (NIV):
“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.”
