Heavenly Father,
As the day ends and night falls, I’m filled with thanks. Thank You for being with me every step of the way. You’ve blessed me in ways I see and don’t see, and given me strength when I was weak.Lord, as I prepare for sleep, I yearn for Your love’s warmth. In this quiet time, remind me I’m never alone. Let Your care be a constant in my heart. When fears or doubts creep in, let Your promises be louder.
Lord, envelop me in Your peace, like a cozy blanket against life’s storms. Tell me again that Your plans for me are good. Your love is as vast as the oceans and as wide as the skies. Let Your love be the song in my dreams, reminding me of Your presence.
Forgive me, Father, for any wrongs I’ve done today. Cleanse my heart and give me the grace to face tomorrow with hope and strength. Watch over my loved ones as they sleep, and keep this home safe.
Thank You, Lord, for loving me without condition. For caring for me so deeply, and being my safe haven in every season. Tonight, I give all my worries to You, trusting You to hold me close.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”
— Psalm 23:1-3 (ESV)
