Heavenly Father,

As night falls, I come to You with a quiet heart. I seek Your presence and peace. Thank You for today’s joys, challenges, and chances to get closer to You.

Even when I faltered or forgot to pray, You were always there. You watched over me with love.

Lord, my heart gets distracted easily, and my mind wanders. I want a deeper connection with You. Teach me to see prayer as a joy, not just a duty.

Help me to pray in every part of my life. Let prayer be my first thought in stress and joy. Let every breath be filled with trust in You.

Teach me to listen as much as I speak. Let me rest in Your will, even when answers are slow.

Tonight, Lord, shape my heart. Make it tender, humble, and hungry for Your Word. Prayer is about honest connection, not perfect words.

Even without words, let my silence be a prayer to You.

I give this night to Your hands. Let Your peace cover my mind and Your love cradle my soul. Wake me tomorrow with a desire to seek You more deeply.

In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.

“Pray without ceasing.”
—1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ESV)
