— Psalm 4:8

Find peace and rest with this evening prayer for a restful sleep.

A Short Prayer

"Dear Lord, calm my mind, soothe my body, and guide me into a restful sleep. May Your peace be with me always."

A Deeper Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, as the day comes to a close, I come before You in prayer. My mind can be racing, and my body is weary from the events of the day. I ask that You would calm my mind, soothe my body, and guide me into a restful sleep. In Your presence is fullness of joy, and You are the God of peace, which surpasses all understanding. As I lay my head on my pillow, I ask that You would give me Your peace. May the words of Psalm 4:8 be a reminder to me: 'I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.' May I trust in Your goodness and Your promises, and may I wake up refreshed and renewed to face another day.
