End your day in God's presence. A peaceful night prayer to calm your mind, release your worries, and enjoy a restful sleep.

A Short Prayer

"Lord, as this day ends, I surrender my worries to You. Grant me peaceful sleep and protect me through the night. Amen."

A Deeper Prayer

Father in Heaven, as the day comes to a close, I seek Your comforting presence. Thank You for the blessings of today—both the seen and the unseen. I bring before You all my worries, my unfinished tasks, and my anxieties, and I lay them at Your feet. Cleanse my heart of any anger or frustration, and forgive me where I have fallen short today. As I lie down to sleep, calm my racing thoughts. Let Your angels surround my home and guard my family while we rest. Grant me deep, restorative sleep so that I may wake up refreshed and ready to serve You tomorrow. I trust that You are working all things for my good, even while I sleep. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it God's will for me to rest and sleep?+

If I'm struggling with anxiety or worries, can I pray for restful sleep?+

You can bring all your worries to God in prayer, 'Cast your anxiety on him because he cares for you' (1 Peter 5:7). He will provide peace and rest.

Am I being selfish if I pray for rest when I know others are suffering?+
